The monster coloring pages in this collection get their laughs from situations rather than scares. A round monster wedges itself in a tiny doorway, a three-eyed monster chases its own eyeball across the ground, and a chubby monster tries to fly on very small wings. Alongside these mishaps are goofy character pages, fantasy and space scenes, and a few holiday monsters. The pages also run from a single monster on its own to scenes filled with extra characters and objects, so you can choose by how much detail you want to color.
Explore Monster Coloring Pages
Many of the mishap pages start with an ordinary task that goes slightly wrong. A comb catches in tangled fur, a horn pokes through the wrong part of a sweater, and a long tongue curls upward to catch a falling cookie. Other everyday pages play the routine straight, like a monster brushing its oversized teeth, a baby monster napping in a cradle, or a monster reading under a tree.
Other pages make the monster's unusual anatomy the main attraction. One monster has three stacked eyes above four short legs and tiny arms, and another has tentacle-like arms and a body patterned with stars and moons. Fantasy and space pages move the monsters among clouds, beside a smoking potion cauldron, or out among the planets. The holiday pages cover Christmas and Halloween, and even the vampire, witch, and mummy are drawn as cute or whimsical rather than menacing.

Choosing Simple and Detailed Monster Coloring Pages
A useful way to sort these pages is by how much surrounds the monster. Big Monster Jumping in Fright and Cheeky Tongue Monster keep the page to one character, which means fewer separate areas and a shorter coloring session.
One step up, the monster shares the page with a second figure. Monster Holding an Umbrella with a Tiny Mouse adds a small mouse and a large umbrella, while Mother Monster Teaching Baby Monster to Roar splits the page between two monsters.
For a longer session, look for pages with groups, scattered objects, or a full setting. Galaxy Monster floats among stars, planets, and a small spaceship, and Trick or Treat Monsters lines up three costumed monsters with their candy bags.
Detail can also come from the monster's body rather than the scene. Many Eyed Monster centers on one character, but its eight eye stalks create a series of smaller repeated shapes to color.
