Coloring is a fun and healthy way to destress and relax. Several studies can attest to its therapeutic benefits, mainly for anxiety relief and motor development.
Coloring has also become a go-to activity for people seeking peace and tranquility after a long, tiring day. It is becoming a popular hobby that does away with all of your daily worries.
Wouldn’t it be nice if your teenage kids could learn the wonders of this activity?
Instead of wasting time reading unimportant news on their social media accounts, it would be a lot better if they spent their time doing something healthy and fun.
Just like adults, they can make the most of this recreational activity whenever they need to take a break from school projects and assignments. If they are feeling down or under pressure, they can just pick their coloring materials and release their pent-up tension.
In this post, we share with you 33 printable coloring pages for teens that your teenagers can try. Some of them are free to download, while others need to be purchased for full use.

1. Cool Teenage Girl
What we like about this coloring sheet is that, although it looks simple, it require a lot of work to color, especially the dress. It is detailed enough for girls (and even adult women) who want a bit of a challenge in their coloring work.
2. Handsome Man in Action
We really love steampunk designs! This image features another handsome guy holding a weapon. It is perfect for teenage boys who like classy and elegant drawings.

6. Guitar Instrument
The guitar is a popular instrument because it is quite accessible to learn. Many teens enjoy playing the guitar, and they will surely find this coloring page relatable.
7. You Are Never Too Old
A quote from L.M. Montgomery, this coloring page will remind your teen children that they can be whoever they want to be, and that there is no time limit on their dreams.
8. Be Brave, Fighter
Teenagers often face a lot of fears. Since they are undergoing a lot of inevitable changes, it is normal for them to be anxious and uneasy. To help them with that, we need to keep reminding them that it is all just part of the process.
9. It is OK to Not Be OK
There is still a stigma that crying and “not being ok” is a symbol of weakness and fragility. We need to do away with that idea once and for all. Tell your children that it is OK to not be OK with this coloring sheet. Experiencing negative emotions is a sign that we are human and we have the ability to feel.
10. Bookshelf for the Bookworms
If your teen is a bookworm, then this coloring page might be a good fit. It isn’t too hard, but is still detailed enough to present a bit of a challenge. Plus, it’s important to encourage children to value reading and literature.
11. Lovely Lady
We have here an image of a lovely lady surrounded by beautiful butterflies. Butterflies symbolize transformation and rebirth, which makes them perfect for teenage girls who are undergoing physical and emotional changes. Plus, this is a pretty drawing where girls can show their hidden artistic talent.
12. The Lady and the Hourglass
Here is another exceptional drawing for all the beautiful teenage girls out there. We specifically picked this one and the first image because we thought that girls at this particular young age would find them attractive and charming. This image has an hourglass, which indicates that time is passing as we grow.
13. Woman in Melancholy
There are likely times when you feel sad for no reason. When those emotions come, coloring can help you feel more relaxed and comforted. Although this coloring sheet has a “melancholic” theme, it is a beautiful way to pass some time.
14. The Pianist
Even if you aren’t a pianist, you might enjoy this coloring page from Favoreads on Etsy. Playing the piano can help relieve anxiety, just like coloring.
15. The Girl and Her Smartphone

16. The Man and His Gears
This steampunk design is well-suited for teenage boys. Coloring can be fun for men, too, which is why we picked a few designs that might interest them. This one, for instance, features a handsome guy holding gears and weapons.

This coloring page is not just for teens, but for adults as well. Whenever we feel lonely or down, we turn to music to calm our hearts and minds. Let this coloring page accompany you while you listen to your favorite song.
21. Life is Limitless
We also need to teach our teenage children that their potential is limitless. The only thing that can keep them from doing the things they want to do is the limitations that they set on themselves.
22. Courage is Your Greatest Tool
Teens need courage to be the people they want to be, and must be willing to allow them to do so. We should support them instead of pressuring them.
23. Studying is Fun!
Finally, here is a fun way to encourage your children to learn and study. Research shows that designing the workspace or study space can stimulate the mind to work better. Try experimenting with this coloring page first. If your teen expresses some willingness to explore the idea further, ask them to decorate their study space with you.
24. It Will Be Worth It
The teenage years are a crucial phase when kids are vulnerable and easily swayed. It is important for them to know that while many things in life may not be easy, they are still worth trying.
25. Don’t Stress; Do Your Best
Here’s another important value we want to instill in our teens. No matter what happens, let them know that doing their best is enough. Don’t let them stress over things they cannot control. Just let them be themselves and give it their best shot.

33. Bloom Where You’re Planted
When your kids are done coloring this page, you might want to hang it on a wall in their room to remind them of their dreams and abilities.
