8 Free Friendship Coloring Pages (PDF)

Looking for an easy, low-prep way to sneak in some SEL (social-emotional learning) while also giving your kids a creative outlet?

Free coloring pages about friendship might be your new favorite tool.

Yep—just some crayons, markers, and a few pages filled with positive messages about being a good friend. These printables are more than just a way to keep kids busy. They’re a gentle, visual way to help them explore complex concepts like kindness, empathy, sharing, and communication. You know, all the stuff our IEP kids are constantly being told they need to “work on”—this gives them a way to actually work on it, without feeling like they’re being corrected.

And let’s be real—sometimes our kids need a break that still feels productive. Coloring friendship-themed pages can spark meaningful conversations (“What does it mean to be a good friend?” “Has anyone ever made you feel included or left out?”) without you needing to whip out a whiteboard or do a full-blown lesson.

Bonus: These pages are often great for building fine motor skills, language, and even self-regulation. Triple win.
