Getting my three kids to agree on anything is basically a lost cause lately. But somehow these Sanrio coloring pages for kids are the one thing that stops the bickering at the kitchen table. It is honestly a miracle… mostly.
Our team here at Little Colorables designed this whole set from scratch because my daughter kept begging for character mashups that didn’t exist anywhere. I think they turned out pretty amazing.
You can just grab any free Sanrio coloring pages you want from the gallery below and print them right out. No email signups or annoying hoops to jump through.
I hate when sites make you click ten times just to get a single PDF. Just click the thumbnail and grab your coloring sheet.

Sanrio Coloring Page Highlights
Hello Kitty and Little Twin Stars on the Moon
Kiki and Lala are sitting right next to Hello Kitty on a giant crescent moon. The little clouds and stars floating around them give the whole page a very dreamy vibe. Honestly it is super relaxing to look at.
My five-year-old, Sam, usually colors the moon bright green for some reason. You can really get creative with the night sky here using dark blues or even purples. It is a perfect Sanrio coloring sheet for bedtime winding down.
Indoor Tea Party with Kuromi
Here we have Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kuromi sitting around a fancy table inside a cozy room. There is a cute little window with curtains and a framed picture on the wall behind them. They are sharing a teapot and what looks like a plate of tiny cupcakes.
I love the contrast of having edgy Kuromi at a sweet little tea party. The tablecloth has a lot of ruffles that might be tricky for toddlers but older kids will love it. My daughter usually uses her favorite glitter pens for the teacups.
Outdoor Tea Time in the Garden
This one takes the tea party outside with just Hello Kitty and My Melody. They are sitting at a garden table with a nice big window and flower box in the background. Little flowers are growing right up around the bottom of the table.
It is a really spring-like scene that begs for pastel colors. We made sure to leave enough open space in the background so kids don’t feel overwhelmed. Finding good free Sanrio coloring pages with this much floral detail isn’t always easy.
Baking Cookies with Pompompurin
Pompompurin and Hello Kitty are wearing matching aprons in a kitchen setting. They have a whole tray of freshly decorated cookies and a piping bag ready to go. There are even little pots and bowls lined up on the shelves behind them.
Sam is obsessed with baking so he grabbed this one immediately. The cookies have little heart and flower shapes on them which are fun to fill in. Just be warned that coloring this page will definitely make you crave sweets.
Planting Seeds in the Garden
My Melody is digging with a little trowel while Keroppi sits nearby supervising. They are surrounded by tulips and a cute wooden picket fence with big trees behind them. There is also a watering can sitting right next to the flower bed.
This is another great nature scene for practicing different shades of green. The soil textures are fun to experiment with using browns and blacks. It is honestly one of the sweetest printable Sanrio coloring pages we have put together.
Pond Side Picnic Setup
Keroppi and Pompompurin are sharing a nice picnic blanket right next to a little pond. Pompompurin is holding a sandwich while Keroppi sits next to a woven picnic basket and some stray apples. You can see lily pads in the water and a big tree trunk in the back.
Water scenes are always a hit in our house because the kids just mash blue everywhere. The checkered pattern on the picnic blanket takes some patience to color properly. Or they can just scribble over it completely because kids do whatever they want.
Grumpy Rooftop Hangout
Kuromi and Badtz-Maru are looking delightfully annoyed while sitting on top of a city roof. There is a brick chimney, a ladder, and a skyline of buildings stretching out behind them under a crescent moon. It is definitely a moodier scene than the others.
This is exactly what I mean when I talk about authentic mashups. You don’t always see these two paired up in a city setting at night. Any kid who loves the mischievous characters will grab this Sanrio coloring sheet right away.
Spooky Potion Mixing Lab
Kuromi and Chococat are dressed up and mixing some kind of potion in a giant cauldron with a skull on it. The room is filled with test tubes, shelves of creepy bottles, and there are even bats flying outside the window. It is giving major Halloween vibes.
Chococat looks so focused stirring that bubbling liquid. The glowing effects around the cauldron are a perfect excuse to break out the neon crayons or markers. This is definitely one of the most creative Sanrio coloring pages for kids we’ve ever drawn.
Tips for Coloring Sanrio Characters
1. Dealing with White Characters
A lot of Sanrio characters are literally just white like Hello Kitty. If your kid leaves them completely blank the page often feels a bit unfinished. I have watched Sam get frustrated by this exact thing.
I usually tell my kids to use a very pale gray or even a light blue to shadow the edges of the character. It gives them some volume without ruining that classic brand look. Or honestly just let them color Hello Kitty neon purple . . . who actually cares?
2. Managing the Pink Overload
My Melody is basically a walking pink cloud. If you are doing a page with her it is really easy to just use one pink crayon for the whole thing. The picture ends up looking like a flat piece of bubblegum.
Mix up those shades. Use a hot pink for her hood and a softer baby pink for the background elements. Throwing in a completely contrasting color like mint green for her accessories really makes the pink pop more.
3. Nailing Kuromi’s Edgy Look
Kuromi wears a lot of black. But flat black marker can easily ruin a coloring page because it bleeds and covers up the line art. It is a rookie mistake I see all the time.
Try using a really dark charcoal gray instead. It still reads as black but keeps the details visible. If you are feeling adventurous you can even blend some dark purple into the shadows to give her that true gothic vibe.
4. Soft Pastel Backgrounds
These Sanrio worlds are supposed to be soft and dreamy. If you use heavy dark markers for the sky or the walls it kind of kills the mood. I learned this the hard way after ruining a perfectly good Pompompurin page.
Stick to colored pencils for the backgrounds. You can press lightly to get a nice soft wash of color that does not overpower the characters in the front. Smudging the pencil with a tissue works wonders too.
5. Getting Pompompurin’s Pudding Colors Right
He is a golden retriever who looks like a flan pudding. Getting that specific yellow-brown combo right is actually pretty tricky. Most standard yellow crayons are just too harsh.
Look for a mustard or golden yellow for his body. And his little beret needs a rich brown, not the murky black-brown that comes in cheap crayon boxes. Investing in a slightly better set of pencils makes a big difference here.
6. When in Doubt, Add Sparkle
These characters practically demand glitter. Little Twin Stars in particular just look better when they are shimmering. But loose glitter is a nightmare that I refuse to allow in my house.
Gel pens are the absolute best invention for this. You get the metallic shine without vacuuming your rug for three weeks straight. I swear I am still finding glitter from Christmas 2024. Have the kids use them just for the stars or jewelry so the page isn’t totally soaked in ink.
7. Don’t Lose the Eyes
Almost all these characters have those simple, solid black oval eyes. If you accidentally color over them with a dark marker they just vanish into the face. It makes them look oddly terrifying.
Tell the kids to carefully outline the eyes first before filling in the face. If they do mess up, a tiny dot of white correction fluid brings the eye right back. It is a simple trick but it saves a lot of tears.
8. Coloring the Night Sky
A few of these pages feature the moon or a night scene like that Kuromi rooftop one. Pitch black skies are boring. They also eat up ink like crazy.
Layering is your best friend for night skies. Start with a medium blue, then scribble some dark purple over it, and finally hit the edges with a bit of black. It gives the sky depth. Plus it is way more fun to color than just grinding a black crayon down to the nub.
