Free Printable Groundhog Day Coloring Pages

Groundhog Day coloring pages are an easy way to bring a bit of February fun into the day without adding prep.

Over the years, my son has enjoyed these simple pages as a quick way to talk about the shadow tradition while still keeping things calm and creative.

They work well for morning work, early finishers, or a short seasonal activity at home or in the classroom.

What’s Inside the Groundhog Day Coloring Set

This printable set includes eight full-page coloring sheets that work together as a simple Groundhog Day story.

Each coloring page has large, clean outlines for younger kids and short text that follows Phil and a group of children through a light, fictional version of the February 2nd tradition.

Here’s what’s inside:

• A forest scene with Phil near his burrow, alongside a short introduction to the legend about seeing (or not seeing) his shadow.
• Two children walking toward Phil’s burrow, curious to spot him before Groundhog Day.

• The kids discover a group of young groundhogs throwing a colorful party with lights and music.
• Phil appears at the entrance, surprised to find the party in full swing.

• Phil invites the kids to join the fun, and everyone dances together through the night.
• Phil steps out the next morning to make his prediction as the town gathers to watch.

• Phil sees no shadow, and the crowd celebrates the early spring.
• A closing page that wraps up the story and shows the kids and groundhogs continuing their tradition each year.

The PDF prints on standard letter paper and is free for personal and classroom use. You can grab the full story at the bottom of this post.
