These 25 cute bear coloring pages for kids follow one little bear through his own book: Bram, a little bear cub with big ears and a soft belly. He takes his first waddle, sniffs a pinecone, naps in the ferns, chases a butterfly, sits for a berry treat, climbs over a fallen log, catches his first fish, fishes at the stream, plays hide-and-seek, has a forest picnic, meets Mama, watches salmon leap, stacks pinecones, counts his berries, rakes leaves, stands tall, stargazes, pulls a little wagon, bakes berry muffins, wears a warm scarf, reads a bedtime story, falls asleep, and ends with a big celebration with Mama and his little friends. All free to download and print, or to color right in your browser, with no sign-up needed.
Bram is a make-believe cartoon bear. His adventures are pretend play, not a guide to real bears. Some pictures show things a real bear could do, like waddling, sniffing a pinecone, chasing a butterfly, napping curled up, catching a fish, watching salmon leap, or sleeping. Others let Bram pretend to be a person, like fishing with a rod, having a picnic, stacking pinecones, raking leaves, baking muffins, wearing a scarf, and reading a bedtime story. The article says which is which on every page.

How to use these bear coloring pages
Jump to a part of the book: Baby Bram (pages 1-8) · Little Bram (pages 9-17) · Big Bram (pages 18-25)
Choose a picture below, then tap Download to print it or Color Online to color it in your browser. The pages run in book order. The page numbers in this article refer to the coloring pages, not necessarily the page numbers in a PDF viewer.
Simple pages have large open shapes and few details. Medium pages have more objects and smaller spaces. Detailed pages have the most objects and the smallest spaces. The difficulty rating is my own guide for this book, not a fixed age level. Suggested counting levels: start with small groups on each page where available, then try larger optional challenges. Younger children may enjoy counting with a grown-up. Choose prompts to match the child, not just their age. On page 7, count the 5 berries he holds. On page 16, count all 5 berries in a row. On page 25, count the 5 bears and the 3 balloons.
Baby Bram (Pages 1-8)
Eight pages of Baby Bram: meeting him in the grass, wiggling his nose, taking his first waddle, sniffing a pinecone, napping in the ferns, chasing a butterfly, sitting for a berry treat, and climbing over a fallen log. Bram is brand new here, and the pages are the simplest in the book. Some of these are things a real baby bear could do, like waddling, sniffing a pinecone, chasing a butterfly, or sleeping curled up. Others are pure make-believe, like sitting for a berry treat as if it were served to him. The article says which is which on every page.

Mama and the three little bear friends have no fixed colors in this article, because no color picture of them was used for this book. Your child can choose any colors they like for Mama and the little friends.
What kids learn

- Colors: Bram’s brown and cream, the pink in his cheeks, and the berries on every page.
- Fine motor: the Detailed pages (the muffins, the scarf, and the celebration) have small spaces to color carefully.
- Growing up: Bram starts as a baby bear and grows bigger across the book, and the pages follow him from Baby Bram to Little Bram to Big Bram.
A note for grown-ups
Four short notes for the adults reading along. Bram is a make-believe cartoon bear, and his adventures are pretend play. Real bears eat berries and fish, and they do catch fish with their paws, so the fishing pages are close to real life. But real bears do not fish with rods, have picnics, stack pinecones, rake leaves, bake muffins, wear scarves, or read bedtime stories, so those pages are not a guide to real bears. Never approach or feed a wild bear. Bears usually live on their own or with their cubs, so a group of bears, called a sleuth, is not something you will often see together. Mama is the book’s pretend family only: the book never says real bear mothers stay with their cubs. The three little friends on the last page are unnamed in the book, and the book never says they are Bram’s family. In winter, many bears rest in dens, which is why the book says Bram’s friends rest in a cozy den, not that they sleep all winter.
Bear fun facts for curious kids
- A group of bears is sometimes called a sleuth.
- Baby bears are called cubs.
- A bear’s sense of smell is much stronger than a human’s. Bears can sniff out food from far away.
- Many bears spend the cold winter months resting in a cozy den.
Creative ways to enjoy these bear coloring pages
- Count while you color: count the 5 berries on page 7, the 5 berries on page 16, and the 5 bears with 3 balloons on page 25.
- Spot the pretend pages: ask your child which pages show real bear play and which are make-believe.
- Find Mama: Mama appears on page 13 and again on page 25. She is the bigger bear with a flower on her ear.
- Follow the journey: color page 1, meeting Bram, and page 25, the big celebration, and put them side by side to see where the journey begins and ends.
- Tell the journey back: ask your child to retell Bram’s day using the finished pages, from his first waddle to the big celebration.

Who is Bram?
Bram is a little bear cub with big ears and a soft belly. He grows up across the book, from Baby Bram to Little Bram to Big Bram. His friends are Mama, a bigger bear with a flower on her ear, and three little bear friends who join the big celebration on the last page.
What is a group of bears called?
A group of bears is sometimes called a sleuth. Bears usually live on their own or with their cubs, so you will not often see a whole sleuth together.

No, those pages are make-believe. Real bears catch fish with their paws, eat berries, and rest in dens in winter. Fishing with a rod, having a picnic, stacking pinecones, raking leaves, baking muffins, wearing a scarf, and reading a bedtime story are all pretend play in Bram’s book.
