Pyramids of Giza coloring pages

A friendly Sphinx with a big smile and a striped headdress rests in front of three pyramids on this easy page from Giza, Egypt. The pyramids are drawn with simple brick lines, the desert sand rolls in gentle waves, and a bright sun shines in the corner. The Sphinx lies with its paws stretched out like a resting cat. Thick, bold lines make it perfect for children aged about 2 to 5. Use golden yellows and sandy oranges for the stone and a vivid blue sky with crayons. Prints on A4 or US Letter.

Three pyramids rise behind the Great Sphinx of Giza, near Cairo in Egypt, under a sun and a few puffy clouds. The Sphinx has a calm human face, a striped headdress and a body made of large stone layers, with its front paws resting on blocks. Two palm trees and a small bush grow on the left, and rocks and pebbles are scattered across the sand. Children aged 5 to 10 can color the brick lines one row at a time. The Great Pyramid is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing. Try warm tans and peach tones for the stone.

Weathered stone, crumbling blocks and fine brick lines fill this view of the Great Sphinx and the three pyramids of Giza, Egypt. The Sphinx gazes into the distance, its headdress and long body worn by time, while the tallest pyramid still shows a band of smoother stone near its peak. A grove of palm trees, distant ruins, desert plants and big foreground boulders complete the scene, with a round sun among the clouds. Older kids and adults who enjoy history will love it. Blend ochre, sienna and pale gold pencils for hot afternoon light.

A decorated camel with tasseled blankets stands beside the Great Sphinx on this dense page from Giza, Egypt.

Palm trees, a market awning and small mud-brick houses complete the edges. Built for experienced adult colorists. Try a palette of gold, lapis blue and turquoise with fine-tip markers to echo ancient Egyptian jewelry.
