This collection has 21 free mountain coloring pages: nine classic peaks under open sky, four water scenes with a lake, a river or a waterfall, four sunrise and cloud pages, two stylised designs, and two with people in the landscape. Every page is black and white on US Letter, downloads as a free PDF, and needs no signup.
These are the emptiest pages on the site, and that is the point. A typical sheet here has fewer than a dozen lines on it: a ridge, a horizon, two clouds, a pine. There is almost nothing to stay inside, which makes them the right pages for a child who is not ready for detail — and the right pages for anyone who wants to try a wash of watercolor or a blend of pastels without a hundred small shapes getting in the way.
What’s in this collection
Nine peak-and-sky pages, four water scenes, four sunrise pages, two stylised designs and two with people — 21 in total, in the grid below. Each has its own Download PDF and Print button, so you can take one page instead of the whole set.
Peaks and sky
Nine pages keep to the essentials: a snow-capped ridge behind rolling foothills, a single peak with a pine or two at its base, a range receding into the distance, a winding path leading toward it. Nothing is drawn smaller than a thumb. These fill fast, and they are the pages to reach for when a young child wants to finish something.
Lakes, rivers and a waterfall
Four pages add water: a stream running down a rocky bed with birds overhead, a waterfall breaking over boulders, a lake with pebbles along the shore, a shoreline under distant hills. The water is drawn as a few long horizontal lines, so it takes color in bands rather than in shapes — the easiest kind of shading to teach.
Sunrise, sunset and clouds
Four pages put the light first: a sun rising between two ridges with its rays drawn as straight lines, a cloud bank sitting on a peak, a sun setting behind hills. These are the pages where a child can use a whole warm palette across one big open sky.
Two stylised designs and two with people
One page frames a mountain and lake inside a circle patterned like a mandala; another reduces a whole range to zigzags. Two more put figures in the scene — two climbers roped together on a snow slope, and a park bench under trees with peaks behind. Those four are the only pages here that break the plain-landscape pattern.
How to print these
Every page is US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), pure black and white, with the drawing inside the printable margin. Plain copy paper is fine; choose “Fit to page” if your printer asks. If you plan to use watercolor or markers on the big sky areas, print on the heaviest paper your printer takes — these are the pages most likely to buckle under a wash.
FAQ
Are these easy enough for a preschooler?
Yes — most of them. The peak-and-sky pages have fewer than a dozen lines each and no small shapes at all.
Are there mountain scenes with water?
Four: a stream over rocks, a waterfall, a lake with a pebble shore, and a shoreline under distant hills.
Can I use paint on these pages?
They are the best pages on the site for it, because the areas are large and open. Use heavier paper — standard copy paper wrinkles under a wet wash.
Do I need a color printer?
No. Every page prints in black and white; the color comes from your crayons, pencils or paints.
For more landscapes, the nature coloring pages put trees and meadows in the foreground, and the animals and nature collection holds the rest of the free sets in this silo.
