These 25 cute wolf coloring pages for kids follow one little wolf through his own book: Wilo, a little wolf pup with big dark eyes and a fluffy tail. He takes his first trot, sniffs a pinecone, naps in the ferns, chases a butterfly, sits for a berry treat, climbs over a fallen log, practices his howl, howls at the moon, plays hide-and-seek, has a forest picnic, meets Mama, runs with the pack, 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.
Wilo is a make-believe cartoon wolf. His adventures are pretend play, not a guide to real wolves. Some pictures show things a real wolf pup could do, like trotting, sniffing a pinecone, chasing a butterfly, napping curled up, or sleeping. Others let Wilo pretend to be a person, like having a picnic, stacking pinecones, raking leaves, baking muffins, wearing a scarf, and reading a bedtime story. The howling pages are pretend too: real wolves howl to talk to each other, not because of the moon. The article says which is which on every page.

How to use these wolf coloring pages
Jump to a part of the book: Pup Wilo (pages 1-8) · Young Wilo (pages 9-17) · Big Wilo (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 15, count the 3 pinecones in the stack. On page 16, count all 5 berries in a row. On page 25, count the 5 wolves and the 3 balloons.
Pup Wilo (Pages 1-8)
Eight pages of Pup Wilo: meeting him in the grass, wiggling his nose, taking his first trot, sniffing a pinecone, napping in the ferns, chasing a butterfly, sitting for a berry treat, and climbing over a fallen log. Wilo is brand new here, and the pages are the simplest in the book. Some of these are things a real wolf pup could do, like trotting, sniffing a pinecone, chasing a butterfly, or sleeping curled up.

- Wilo: gray and cream fur, with pink inner ears, big dark eyes, and a fluffy tail.
Mama and the three little wolf 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: Wilo’s gray and cream fur, the pink in his inner ears, 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: Wilo starts as a little pup and grows bigger across the book, and the pages follow him from Pup Wilo to Young Wilo to Big Wilo.
A note for grown-ups
Four short notes for the adults reading along. Wilo is a make-believe cartoon wolf, and his adventures are pretend play. Real wolves howl to talk to each other across long distances, and a howl can be heard miles away, so the howling pages are close to real life. But real wolves do not howl because of the moon, and they do not have picnics, stack pinecones, rake leaves, bake muffins, wear scarves, or read bedtime stories, so those pages are not a guide to real wolves. Never approach or feed a wild wolf. Wolves live in packs, which are usually family groups, so the pack on page 14 and the celebration on page 25 are the book’s pretend family only: the book never says Wilo’s pack friends are his family. Mama is the book’s pretend family only: the book never says real wolf mothers stay with their pups. The three little friends on the last page are unnamed in the book, and the book never says they are Wilo’s family. Gray wolves live in forests, mountains, and tundra, and they walk on their toes, which is why the book says Wilo trots on all four paws.
Wolf fun facts for curious kids

Creative ways to enjoy these wolf coloring pages

- Spot the pretend pages: ask your child which pages show real wolf play and which are make-believe.
- Find Mama: Mama appears on page 13 and again on page 25. She is the bigger wolf with a flower on her ear.
- Follow the journey: color page 1, meeting Wilo, 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 Wilo’s day using the finished pages, from his first trot to the big celebration.
