Coco Coloring Pages (Free)

Scenes from the Land of the Dead and Beyond

This collection of free printable Coco coloring pages brings together the film’s most memorable moments. Kids will find Miguel with his guitar, the lively Mariachi Band, and the magical Visit to the Land of the Dead. Other sheets show the Skeleton Family Fiesta, Hector and Miguel together, and Coco’s Altar glowing with marigolds. Each page captures the warmth of Mexican culture through detailed line art that invites hours of coloring.

Choosing Colors for Marigolds, Guitars, and Alebrijes

Bright oranges and yellows dominate the film’s palette, so stock up on those crayon shades for the marigold bridges and Coco’s Altar. Miguel’s red hoodie and Hector’s straw hat call for bold, saturated colors. Younger children will enjoy filling Dante the Dog’s tongue and spots, while older kids can tackle the intricate patterns in the Artistic Skull Designs and the ornate details of the Guitar Dreaming page. Metallic gel pens work beautifully on the guitar strings and skeleton bone details.

Perfect for Día de los Muertos Units and Family Movie Nights

Teachers building a Día de los Muertos unit can print these Coco coloring pages as a gentle introduction to the holiday’s symbols and meaning. The Walk in the Streets of Mexico sheet pairs well with geography lessons, while Coco’s Family Gathering sparks discussions about family trees and ancestry. At home, parents can set out printed sheets during the film or save them for a rainy afternoon. The Celebrating Life page also makes a thoughtful activity for memorial gatherings where children can color while adults share stories.

Build a Family Ofrenda Display

After coloring the Skeleton Family Fiesta or Coco’s Altar, turn the finished pages into a tabletop ofrenda. Cut out the colored figures and prop them against small boxes draped with tissue paper. Add a real candle (battery-operated for safety) and a dish of pan dulce. Kids can write names of their own relatives on small folded cards to place beside the display. This simple extension connects the coloring activity to the film’s heart: remembering and honoring the people we love.
