Armadillos with patterned armor and friendly faces

These 22 armadillo coloring pages include walking poses, a front-facing portrait and an adult with a small armadillo following behind. Other pictures place the animal beside a flower, a cactus, a burrow or a tall ant mound. There are also playful scenes with a butterfly, a tortoise, a pumpkin and a slice of watermelon.

The repeated bands and small shapes on the armor are part of the coloring challenge. Choose a simple pose if you want fewer background details, or try the fallen log, stepping stones and digging scene for a longer activity.

Ideas for coloring the armor

Start with gray, brown or sandy shades, then use a slightly darker color between the armor sections. You can repeat one color across the broad bands and use another for the smaller shapes around the head and legs. A fine pencil point helps keep those tiny sections separate.

For a playful version, invent a striped or rainbow palette. Keep the grass and shrubs in a few repeated greens so the armadillo remains easy to see. On the autumn and pumpkin pages, warm orange and yellow backgrounds offer another option.

Choose and print a sheet

Check the print preview before printing on A4 or Letter paper. Fit the whole picture within the printable area and try one sheet first to check the size of the smaller armor details. Younger children may enjoy the smiling portrait, while the patterned outdoor scenes offer more careful coloring.

These are stylized illustrations rather than wildlife identification drawings. Use the different poses to invent a short story: where is the armadillo going, what has it found, and what might happen next?
