How to Print and Download

  • Use the Download PDF button on any card for a US Letter PDF, or choose the A4 link if that paper size fits your printer.
  • Print in portrait orientation so the car fills the page with a clean margin.
  • Choose “fit to page” if your printer preview trims the edges.
  • Black-and-white printing saves ink and keeps the outlines crisp.
  • Try cardstock for crafts, classroom displays or pages that will be colored with markers.

Coloring Tips and Ideas

  • For an easy car coloring page, invite preschoolers to choose one body color, one wheel color and one window color.
  • Use crayons for big areas, colored pencils for rims and tools, and washable markers for bold race car stripes.
  • Let kids invent safe pretend details, such as a picnic blanket in the road trip car or bubbles around the car wash.
  • For detailed pages, color one section at a time: cars first, then roads, buildings, trees and tiny patterns.
  • Pair the police car coloring page with a short talk about community helpers and safe crossing rules.

Fun Facts About Cars

  • Cars were not always powered the same way. Around 1900, people could see steam, gasoline and electric vehicles on the road, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
  • Electric cars are not brand-new. The Department of Energy says some of the first practical electric cars were built in the second half of the 1800s, long before many modern car features existed (U.S. Department of Energy).
  • The first electric traffic signal in the United States was installed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1914, according to the Federal Highway Administration.
  • Seat belts are an important car safety invention. NHTSA says buckling up is one of the safest choices drivers and passengers can make (NHTSA).
