My favorite character on My Little Pony isn’t a pony. He’s the short purple dragon who sweeps the floors, carries the scrolls, takes the blame and snacks on gemstones like they’re popcorn.
In plenty of My Little Pony coloring pages Spike is a speck in the corner, holding somebody else’s quill. I always felt a bit sorry about that, the way you feel for the kid who always gets picked to hold the door.

Featured Spike Coloring Pages
I love how Spike’s glittering gem ornaments give this Hearth’s Warming tree a little dragon-approved sparkle. I’d leave a few tiny white spots on each gem to make them shine, though a rainbow of jewel colors would be hard to resist!
Spike’s giggles and that wobbly stack of books make this spiral staircase adventure such a silly treat. I’d give each book a different bright cover, though I’d definitely remind my little ones that our books aren’t sleds!
Spike’s sparkling eyes make me think that giant ruby must taste better than any biscuit in the crystal castle kitchen! I’d give his snack the brightest red in the box and save a few soft blues for the crystal cupboards.
Spike’s flailing arms and that wobbly tower of books gave me a giggle. Apparently, even library time can turn into a silly chase! I’d give each tumbling book a different bright color, then let the kids invent the title of the one that started all this trouble.
I think Spike’s Santa hat makes his snowy scroll deliveries around Ponyville look like a very important Christmas mission. I’d leave a little white on the rooftops for snow and give those scrolls bright ribbons. Important dragon mail deserves a festive touch!

Spike My Little Pony Coloring Pages Highlights
Spike Dressed as a Superhero
Cape snapping out behind him, one fist in the air, Spike jumps off a wooden library ladder in front of shelves packed with books. A shield-shaped emblem sits on his chest, blank and waiting for a logo.
Back in the Power Ponies episode, the magic comic book stuck him with Humdrum, the sidekick with zero powers, and he saved everyone anyway. This page gives him a proper hero moment. Leo filled every single book spine on those shelves before he’d let himself touch the cape.
Spike the Wizard Conjuring Sparks
No horn? No problem. Spike wears a pointed hat dotted with stars and a long robe to match, waving a wand that throws sparks into the air.
The robe is mostly wide open shapes, which preschoolers can handle with fat crayons. Costume week, a magic-themed birthday, a slow Saturday morning… it covers a lot of ground.
Spike Enjoying a Bubble Bath with a Rubber Duck
A clawfoot tub, a heap of foam, one rubber duck and a dragon who clearly has nowhere to be. Bubbles float up and fill the empty space around him.
Anyone searching “my little Spike pony coloring pages” for a three-year-old should start with this one. Those round bubbles are about the easiest shapes in the set, and wobbly circles look exactly right on bubbles.
Spike Juggling Gems on a Unicycle
Spike balances on a unicycle with three gems tumbling above his head. That grin is wobbling as much as the wheel is.
Knowing him, one of those gems will get eaten before the act ends. Rolling hills, bushes and clouds fill the background, enough detail to hold a second grader’s attention without swamping a younger sibling.
Spike Heartbroken at a Broken Crystal
Not every page needs to be cheerful. Here he stands beside a cluster of tall crystals, one claw raised to his mouth, with a single tear on his cheek and shattered crystal pieces on the ground.
Sad pages earn their place. A kid who just broke something precious will color this one slowly, and the talking usually starts somewhere around the tear.
Spike Painting a Portrait of Twilight Sparkle
Brush in one claw, palette in the other, our little dragon puts the finishing touches on a portrait of Twilight Sparkle. Paint drips down the canvas, and there’s a splotch right on the end of his nose.
Does Twilight like it? Nobody asked her. It’s a lovely pick for art class or a card for a big sister.
Spike Building a Snow Dragon in Front of the Castle
Wrapped in a scarf, he pats the last bit of snow onto a dragon sculpture that looks a lot like him. A castle with pointed towers and a little flag rises in the background.
Winter break packets, snow days, chilly classrooms… it fits all of them. The castle walls are simple blocks, so a younger kid can work on those while an older one takes the dragon.
Spike Reading a Bedtime Story to a Sleepy Baby Dragon
Deep inside a cave lined with stalactites, Spike holds an open storybook while a baby dragon sleeps curled up beside him. The file name promises the whole cave glows, so that part is up to your crayons.
He’s about the gentlest babysitter in Equestria, which tracks for a dragon raised by the most bookish unicorn around. Print it for wind-down time after dinner.
8 Tips for Coloring Spike
Give Spike a Deeper Purple Than Twilight
The portrait page has a sneaky problem, because the painter and the painting are both purple. Spike’s scales lean grape or violet, while Twilight’s coat sits closer to soft lavender.
Press hard on Spike with the deeper shade and keep a light touch on the canvas. The portrait then looks like paint, and the artist looks like he’s standing in front of it.
Let the Spines Carry the Giant Book Page
Behind that huge book, Spike is just two eyes, his ear fins and a row of spines. That green is the only clue it’s him, so make it bright.
A dark leather red on the cover will push the green forward even more. Red and green sit opposite each other on the color wheel, old news to art teachers and a small miracle to a six-year-old.
Spike’s Fire Is Green
In the show, his fire burns green, and it doubles as the mail service. Twilight writes a letter, Spike breathes on it, and the scroll vanishes off to Princess Celestia in a puff of green smoke.
Borrow that on the campfire page, with lime and emerald flames instead of orange. Now he really is roasting marshmallows over his own fire.
Color the New Wings Like They Grew There
Spike didn’t sprout wings until season eight, in an episode called “Molt Down,” and on the flying page they’re still small. Purple wings just disappear into his back.
I’d fill the wing skin with the same green as his spines and keep purple for the thin bones. They’ll look grown, not taped on.
Make One Juggled Gem a Rarity Blue
Gems are his favorite food, so the juggling page is basically a snack in midair. In the season two episode “Secret of My Excess,” Rarity gives him a fire ruby for his birthday.
Color two gems in snack colors and the third a pale blue, like the diamonds on Rarity’s cutie mark. That’s the one he’d never eat, and fans of the show will catch it.
A Grayer Purple for the Heartbroken Page
His purple doesn’t have to stay cheerful. For the broken crystal page, glaze a light layer of gray pencil over it so he looks as deflated as he feels.
Keep the standing crystals clean and bright behind him. That contrast does more of the storytelling than the tear.
Let the Snow Dragon Be a Self-Portrait
The snow dragon Spike is building has spines and fins a lot like his own. Tint only those bits in faint mint and leave the snowy body paper white.
All that blank snow works like a rest in sheet music, quiet but still part of the tune. It still reads as his work from across the room.
Pick a Different Color for the Baby Dragon
The sleeping baby in the cave isn’t Spike, and kids should see that at a glance. In “Dragon Quest” back in season two, the migrating dragons came in all sorts of colors, so there’s no rule here.
Go with warm orange or a sleepy teal, anything but purple and green. Few stacks of Spike coloring sheets My Little Pony fans print need his colors on every dragon.
