Barbie Princess Coloring Pages

The most popular doll of all time is of course Barbie. And among her many alter egos there of course is a princess. Therefore, in honor of Barbie’s 50’s birthday I’m happy to present you with princess Barbie coloring pages!



I just love the flower details on the gown. This can be shaded in so many different ways!. Though I think I sea it as black background with golden flowers, to match the hair. Metallic gold crayons would work wonders here. But that’s just me. You may think of gazillion other combinations. Don’t be shy to experiment. These coloring pages are free printables – if you don’t like the results, reprint and do it again!



A princess on the balcony… Is there anything more romantic?



Her royal highness and her cat.



I think that with this crown Barbie looks way more than a princess. She looks like a queen! Just look at the huge diamond at the center!

By the way, I just noticed that on all four pictures there is a rose on her chest. Did you know that the ancient Greeks and Romans identified the rose with the goddess of love? It really suits our princess, don’t you think?

For more coloring pages of Barbie check out the Barbie Coloring Pages site. It has many wonderful pictures to print and color.

Breaking the princess coloring rules.

Generally princess coloring pages follow an unspoken cannon: Big hair, tiara, puffy skirts and frills.

And I think those are great. Frills have always been my favorite to draw and color.

But there is no reason to limit the princesses to that cannon. Thinking out of the box can be very useful now and then.

Therefore, here is a set of princesses that don't fit the stereotype, but are still fun.

Print the pictures and enjoy.

Printable Princesses to Color and Admire

Four more princess coloring pages are here.

First, here is another queen (or princess?) of the night.



A very whimsical lady ready for a masquerade. I think this gown is made of very light fabrick, so translucent type markers would do best. Or silver type crayons for sparkles:



A princess and a dog. This is a very noble looking Dalmatian. And I love the maple leaves in her hand. Great alternative to a flower bouquet in the fall.



And this is a simple princess picture for younger girls. Gorgeous beading in her hair.



The cool thing about coloring pages is the free run of imagination they inspire. I love the ones where princesses are displayed on their own, and the girl can draw in any background she wants. Castles, parks, rivers, stars… I used to love to draw elaborate frames. That was my thing, I guess. A friend of mine was very good at castles, but I never quite mastered the task. My castles always looked like the tower of Pisa – ready to topple any second. Though, I must admit, the frames on the windows where quite a work of art.

Anyways, that’s enough for today. I will post more free printable princesses to color tomorrow.

See yah later.

Enjoy coloring!

And I'll be back with more.

Today I have a collection of some beautiful exotic princesses coloring pictures. Variety is the spice of life, and world cultures have produced plenty of inspiration for princesses of all kinds.

Girl out in the woods, with a beautiful long braid and a reflection in the water. Peaceful forest in the background. I call her a princess of the forest.



Asian princess with a classic hand fan, intricate garments and gorgeous crown.



And here is a Russian Tzarevna (princess in Russian) coloring page. Notice the moon crescent under the braid and the elaborate crown ornaments.



And here is a princess in a warm winter overcoat. I love the pompons. This is a good coloring page for the Christmas season, don’t you think?



That’s it for now. I hope the variety will keep your crayons occupied for a while. You can be sure that more princesses are coming soon.

And Even More Free Disney Princess Coloring Pages

We got inspired by Disney again and made these free princess coloring pages of Sleeping Beauty princess Aurora:



and one more printing sheet of Cinderella:



As I was saying before, when it comes to coloring princesses it's all about the dress and the hair. That's why Cinderella is on the cover of ome the most popular coloring books ever. She's got it all: hair, gloves, shoes and the gown! Of course she's also got a stunning face...

Sleeping Beauty has a lot of creative design going for her too. This Disney cartoon was specifically drawn to have a medieval feel and to look like living illustrations. So think of this printable as an illustration to a book you wrote :) I find that while with other printable princess pages the instinct is to blend and match the colours. But with princess Aurora -- the more contrasting the colours, the more stunning the effect. Also, regular pencils have a more striking illustration-type effect than crayons.

But that's just me. After all these coloring pages are free -- so print as many copies as you like and experiment all you want!

Free Printable Princess Coloring Pages

Finding free princess coloring pages online is really easy. In fact, they are everywhere. Very quickly you’ll figure out the sites that have the best selection for your artist. I can’t even imagine what people used to do before the net. Where did they get all the coloring books? Given how quickly kids go through them, it must have been a constant lookout for new pictures.

How times have changed. You can now get any of the Disney princesses online (just go to their main site, they have plenty of free pics there). You can also get realistic and fairy tail princesses from traditions all over the world. You can specialize by era, by design, by gowns, and any other features imaginable. Find the pic you like, and just print it. The world of free printable is upon us.

I am going to put some princess coloring pictures on this site as well. They are totally free and printable. Just click on them and select print. Or check your browser settings. I intend to add more pages as I go along. The beauty of the internet is that no matter how many pages are out there, there is always room for a few more!

When it comes to princess coloring pages, it’s all about the gowns. Oh yes. There is nothing more important than a huge big skirt to color. Every girl is an inborn fashionista. But the beauty of coloring is that unlike the frequently boring colors of reality, the princesses get to wear dresses of the most creative hue combinations imaginable. Though gold trimming still seem to be the standard. Hmm… I guess some things never go away.

Girls and Princess Coloring Pages

Why do girls like princess coloring pages so much? Why not something else? Truthfully, I have no idea. It’s been a while since I’ve passed the stage of been a girl, but I still clearly remember the all consuming joy of coloring the princess ball gowns…

I think it has a lot to do with the fantasy world of the “dress up”. I remember as a girl spending countless hours drawing and coloring tiaras and the most elaborate dress trimmings imaginable. The seams had to have unique gold designs, the shoes had to match the jewelry, and the hair… Oh, that’s a whole story of it’s own. Every princess had to have the most gorgeous and longest hair possible, albeit it could be up in a very elaborate updo.

With the abundance of free coloring pages on the internet, there is no need to go out and buy the books. Just print out some pages and give them to your girls. Ask them which princess is their favorite. It’s a great conversation starter. You just might find out that your daughter loves coloring Jasmine because she loves animals and she is so brave, or that she loves Bell because she is very smart.

A princess coloring page does more than just the hand and eye coordination. It brings out the designer in the girl. Very often girls draw in details that are not present in the original page. I’ve seen countless additions of necklaces and earrings. Gloves and hats. This develops a sense of beauty and proportion, an eye for a detail, and appreciation of fashion… Very useful attributes for any woman.

There are some parents who are concerned that beautiful princess coloring pictures develop wrong stereotypes in girls. I beg to differ. A princess is not so enchanting because she is beautiful (though that also plays a role). But a fairy tale princess is first and foremost enchanting because she is kind. Because she is overall good. Just think about the Snow White’s wicked step mother. She is very beautiful. Yet most girls prefer to color in Snow White, because she is good. Other common princess characteristics are loyalty, resourcefulness, respect for others… A very noble set of aspirations indeed.

But at the end of the day girls want to color princesses because they are girls. So let them be. This time flies by so fast – so start saving for the real prom dress…
