August coloring pages
Pool days, watermelon, county fair horses and the first football games — free printable coloring pages for the last weeks of summer and the first days back at school.
August holidays and coloring ideas
- National Watermelon Day (August 3): Color the watermelon page and count the seeds on each slice.
- County and state fairs (all month): Color the horse, barn and carousel pages after a visit to the fair.
- Back to school (mid to late August): Start the first week with an all-about-me coloring page and a back-to-school word search.
- Football season kickoff (late August): Color a football page in your team's colors.
August in the classroom
First-week tip: coloring pages give new students something calm to do while you learn names and handle paperwork.
Use the back-to-school word search as a quick reading check on day one.
