Every picture below has its own download, color-online and print buttons. Free for personal use, craft groups and libraries.
The bread baker and the blanket mender have company now. Across these 80 gnome coloring pages, most scenes catch a small task in progress: holding a bridge for a hedgehog, pulling a giant turnip, folding paper stars, or helping a friend carry a table. A few quieter pages leave the characters out and let a little workshop or supper setting tell the story.
The drawings range from large, open shapes to scenes with smaller details such as bicycle wheels, fern leaves, and scarf stripes. Browse by activity below, then choose a page to print on US Letter or A4 paper or color in your browser.
At home and around the cottage
Bread, blankets, soup, sweeping, and a shared breakfast give this opening group its everyday rhythm. The first four pages also introduce the gnomes outdoors with a pumpkin wheelbarrow and a rainy meeting with a snail. Look for small hand movements in the later pages: a candle being lit, a window being wiped, and a plant being watered.
Gnome Making Bread
Both hands press into dough at a kitchen table. A finished loaf and patterned bowl sit nearby; the curtained window keeps the room feeling small and warm.
Gnome Mending a Blanket
The seated gnome stitches a square patch onto a blanket. Alternate colors across the blanket grid, then give the repair its own shade.
Gnome with a Pumpkin Wheelbarrow
Two pumpkins ride in the wheelbarrow while the gnome grips its handles. The mushroom spots and wheel spokes add smaller spaces around the broad pumpkins.
Gnome and a Snail in the Rain
A snail waits near the puddle as the gnome pauses under an umbrella. The umbrella panels can take separate colors, with pale blue for the drops and water.
Stirring the Vegetable Soup
The soup pot takes center stage, and the wide hat and apron leave generous spaces for color. The carrot on the floor can be a bright accent.
Sweeping the Porch
A broom gathers a small pile of leaves by the door. Try a few different fall colors on those leaves without filling the open porch.
Lighting the Candle
The taper touches the candle wick in this quiet evening scene. A pale yellow flame would stand out against a darker candle holder.
Reading the Leaf Book
A big leaf fills the book page while the two readers lean close. Color the leaf first, then pick different hat shades for the pair.
Washing the Round Window
The circular window is the main shape here. Leave one pane light to suggest clean glass and use a soft color for the wall around it.
Stacking Firewood
Three broad log ends make an easy wood-grain exercise. The gnome’s bent knees and hands show the work in progress.
Folding the Laundry
A basket waits next to the table as the gnome folds a cloth. The fabric has room for a stripe or two of your own.
Painting the Cottage Door
A fresh patch of paint runs down the door. Choose one color for the new coat and another for the unpainted boards.
Breakfast for Two
The teapot sits between two bowls, giving each gnome a place at the table. Matching cups or mismatched ones both fit.
Watering the Window Plant
The leaves are broad enough for a few shades of green. The round window keeps the background simple.
Woodland neighbors
These pages turn tiny favors into the main action. A hedgehog gets a bark bridge, a fox gets a leaf curtain, and a frog gets a boat. Animal faces are small, but the surrounding ground and water stay open enough for a gentle palette.
Helping a Hedgehog Cross
A narrow ditch becomes a crossing with one piece of bark. Keep the hedgehog’s spines light if you want the little face to stand out.
Sharing Berries with a Robin
The robin waits on its stump while the gnome holds out a few berries. Those tiny fruits can add a strong red accent.
An Acorn Cup for a Mouse
The mouse is nearly as small as the acorn cup. A light leaf color will keep both easy to see.
A Leaf Curtain for the Fox
The leaf hangs like a curtain over the den. Color the fox and gnome first, then add a quiet earthy tone to the tree roots.
Shade for the Rabbit
The gnome and rabbit share the job of holding the leaf. Its wide surface can be one solid green or a gentle two-tone.
Returning the Owl’s Mitten
The mitten is the small link between the gnome and the owl. Their faces carry the scene, so a plain background works well.
Stepping Stones for the Tortoise
Each gnome sets down a stone while the tortoise waits its turn. Pale blue water will leave the stones clearly visible.
A Shelf for the Squirrel
The new shelf projects from the tree trunk. Try a warm wood color against a lighter bark tone.
The Frog’s Leaf Boat
A frog rides the leaf just off the bank. The broad water spaces are a good place for a soft, even blue.
Water for the Fawn
The fawn bends toward the bowl as the gnome sets it down. You can leave the spots white against a warm brown coat.
Garden jobs and harvest finds
There are different kinds of garden work here: planting, tying, lifting, pulling, and sorting. The turnip is enormous, while the apple sapling is slight. Pick a page by how much detail you want; the fern and trellis ask for a steadier hand than the big mushroom cap.
Planting a Sunflower Seed
The packet shows the flower this seed may become. The seed and trowel are small details amid wide, easy clothing shapes.
Building a Vine Trellis
One gnome steadies the frame while the other works near the vine. A different green on each leaf makes the plant easier to follow.
Pulling a Giant Turnip
The turnip is nearly as wide as the gnome. Color the leafy top separately from the round root to show its shape.
Catching a Pear
One gnome reaches from the ladder while the other catches the fruit below. The tree and cloth leave plenty of white space around the action.
Misting the Fern
The fern’s curved leaves offer a little more detail than most pages in this group. Start with the pot and apron, then work outward.
Turning Leaf Compost
A few wide leaves are visible at the top of the bin. Browns and muted greens can separate the pile from the wooden slats.
Brushing a Mushroom Cap
The mushroom cap has broad open space for color. Leave the little brush and its bristles visible against the cap.
Lifting a Flower Planter
Both gnomes support the planter from below. The single large blossom can be your brightest color on the page.
Sorting Pumpkin Seeds
The split pumpkin reveals its seeds, and the bowl holds a small sorted pile. Try two oranges to separate rind from flesh.
Tying a Young Apple Tree
A ribbon holds the sapling upright. Those two apples are small, clear accents in an otherwise airy garden drawing.
Little things made by hand
A spoon, a basket handle, a kite, and a toy boat all show work partway through. Two gnomes make stars together, and a half-built bench waits for its maker. This group has a few more lines around yarn, wood curls, and folded paper, balanced by plain backgrounds.
Carving a Wooden Spoon
The spoon is still being shaped, with curls scattered on the table. A pale wood color keeps the carving easy to read.
Weaving a Basket Handle
The wide basket strips are easier to color than a tight weave. Use one shade for the handle to show the piece being added.
Painting a Kite
The kite’s open panels invite bold blocks of color. A short tail trails below, leaving the main shape uncluttered.
Sewing a Toy Boat Sail
The triangular sail is the focus, with just a spool beside the boat. Its plain cloth can take a stripe or a simple pattern.
Folding Paper Stars
Each gnome holds a fold, so the shared activity is easy to follow. Give the two stars related colors for a paired look.
The Little Gnome Workshop
A hammer, planks, and hanging hat suggest the builder has stepped away. The broad bench boards work well with a few wood tones.
Making a Leaf Print
Both palms press the leaf onto the page. Choose a color for the print, then leave the blank paper around it light.
Knitting a Long Scarf
The scarf reaches almost to the ground. Follow its wide stripes with two or three repeating colors.
Shaping a Clay Bowl
The bowl rises between the gnome’s hands. A warm clay shade gives the simple room a clear center.
Pressing Flowers in a Book
The book lies wide open as two blossoms are set inside. Different petal colors help distinguish them from the pages.
Small journeys
The vehicles stay wonderfully modest: an acorn-shell ferry, an umbrella boat, a little bicycle, and a wagon. A lantern walk and a map at a fork give the travelers a reason to pause. The moonlit camp is a restful scene with no figure at all.
Crossing in a Little Bowl Boat
The round bowl makes a tiny ferry for two. A light ripple color can define the stream without taking over the page.
The Leaf Balloon Basket
The leaf balloon fills the sky while the basket hangs below it. Try one leaf color and a separate warm tone for the wicker.
Pulling a Snowy Sled
The parcel is the only cargo on this winter trip. Keep the snow mostly white and let the hat or ribbon carry the color.
Wheeling Across the Bridge
The wagon follows the gnome over the bridge. The arch and the water beneath it give this page its strongest shapes.
A Ride on the Little Bicycle
The dandelion is nearly as tall as the rider. Its petals and the bicycle wheels offer different kinds of repeated shapes.
A Lantern Walk at Dusk
The two walkers stay close on the path. A warm lantern glow can be suggested with a light yellow halo around the glass.
An Upside-Down Umbrella Boat
The umbrella forms a surprising little boat. Keep the pond pale so the curved hull remains the star.
Hopping Across the Stones
One boot lifts toward the next stone while the arms spread for balance. The open water gives the hopping pose room.
The Moonlit Gnome Camp
No traveler appears in this calm camp view; the hat waits by the tent. A darker sky could make the moon and canvas stand out.
Choosing a Path
The map is blank, and each traveler points toward a different trail. You can add simple landmarks to the paper.
Across the seasons
Spring flowers, a pear-tree picnic, autumn leaves, and a small snow figure mark the change in weather. The winter wreath and frosted window have broad circles to color; the fireflies have only a few small shapes. The supper table closes the group with three hats hanging above it.
The Spring Flower Cart
The cart carries blooms with different petal shapes. Give each flower its own color or make a matching spring bunch.
A Picnic Under the Pear Tree
The gnomes sit close beneath fruit-laden branches. The basket and pears offer small color accents around their different hats.
Bundling Autumn Leaves
The ribbon cinches the leaves into one bundle. Warm yellows and rust reds can distinguish their broad edges.
Making a Snow Gnome
One gnome steadies the snowy body while the other adds the hat. Leave most of the snow white and color the coats instead.
Carving a Pumpkin Face
The pumpkin’s wide grin carries the scene. The smaller gnome holds the lid nearby, making the work feel shared.
Hanging a Winter Wreath
A helper braces the stool as the wreath goes up. The circular door and wreath make a simple nested pattern.
Watching Fireflies Leave
The jar is open and the fireflies drift upward. A little yellow on each insect makes their path easy to trace.
Drawing on a Frosted Window
The heart is drawn right on the glass. A pale blue or gray around it can suggest frost while keeping the heart clear.
Dancing in Rain Boots
They share a coat above their heads as both boots splash down. The puddle can stay light beneath brighter rainwear.
Harvest Supper Is Ready
The gnomes have left their hats on the pegs, and supper is waiting. Color the vegetables individually within the big central bowl.
Gnome friends together
Sharing tea, moving a wagon, tying a knot, and raising a birdhouse all depend on another pair of hands. The story circle has one child stretched out on the grass and another listening from a stone. In the patio-table page, the two carriers do the heavy lifting while a third gnome points the way.
Tea on the Stoop
The seated gnome holds a cup as tea is poured. The simple doorway frames their exchange without a busy interior.
Two Gnomes in Big Coats
Each gnome wears a roomy coat of their own. Different coat colors will make the pair easy to tell apart.
Pulling the Little Wagon Together
One pulls from the front while two push behind. The gift ribbon gives the wagon a bright focal point.
Learning the Sailor’s Knot
Four hands gather around one rope. Choose a light color for the rope so its loops stay visible.
Building a Birdhouse Together
The younger gnome steadies the box as the roof is placed. The waiting bird adds one small splash of color.
Stringing Garden Bunting
The center gnome holds the bunting while the others secure its ends. Each pennant can take a different color.
Trading Seeds
Their hands meet above the fence. The empty packet gives you space to draw a tiny picture of the future plant.
A Little Porch Duet
The instruments make a pair without crowding the porch. Color the fiddle wood differently from the drum shell.
The Story Circle
One young listener sits on a stone; another lies on the grass. The book’s moon scene is a small picture within the picture.
Moving the Patio Table
The two carriers hold the tabletop on either side. A third gnome stands ready to help find its spot.
Big shapes and quiet pauses
These last six pages keep the setting spare. The key, mitten, mushroom, boot, acorn, and giant leaf each take up most of the drawing. Start here if you want a page with broad spaces and a clear single subject.
The Gnome and the Giant Key
The key is almost as long as the gnome’s arm span. Its simple metal shape makes this one of the quickest pages to color.
One Lost Mitten
The mitten becomes a roof for a small visitor. Its broad surface has room for stripes or a pattern of your own.
A Hug for the Mushroom
The gnome reaches around the stem beneath a wide cap. The cap and gills offer two separate surfaces for color.
Peeking from the Boot
The boot towers over the waving gnome. Try one color for the leather and another for the laces.
Passing the Acorn
The acorn sits between four hands. A darker cap and lighter nut will make that shared object easy to spot.
Resting Under a Leaf
The leaf bends overhead like a canopy. The small daisy and open background keep this last page especially quiet.
Print or color a page online
Open a drawing you like and choose the PDF for the paper in your printer: US Letter or A4. Check the print preview before printing at actual size. If you would rather stay on screen, open the page in the online coloring tool; its fill, Undo, and Redo controls work with these drawings.
Large hats, coats, mushrooms, and leaves give you room to begin with a few favorite colors. For pages with smaller sections, such as the bicycle or fern, colored pencils can help you stay inside the lines. Leave the white background alone or add your own sky, path, or cottage wallpaper where the scene gives you space.
