1. The Magic of Bambi and His Forest Friends
Before you and your kids grab your crayons, let’s remember Bambi’s magical story and the friends who bring him joy. Bambi is a popular Disney film that follows the life of a young deer in the forest.
The Story of a Young Prince
Then there’s Bambi, a baby deer, “the new Prince of the Forest”. We watch him stumble on his first wobbly calf’s legs and grow into a handsome, intelligent deer. We watch as he discovers all about his forest home, learns to talk and makes his very first friends.
And while the seasons transition from spring to winter and back again, so does Bambi, discovering something. How beautiful nature is, how much fun friendship can be and that life can be hard sometimes. It’s a great story about growing up and being brave and how family and love is everything.
Meet the Woodland Creatures
One of the most delightful things about Bambi is all its adorable storybook characters. Not only are these sweet cartoon animals a joy to watch in the movie. They also provide the opportunity to color.
- Thumper: Of course, you can’t associate Bambi without bringing in his best friend, Thumper! He is a bouncy and happy rabbit, with a big personality and an even bigger heart. They named him after the sound he makes when he thumps his back foot.
Thumper is the character who teaches Bambi to talk and is up for an adventure. His grey fur and big smile also make him a popular subject for cute animal art.
- Flower: This shy, sweet skunk is another one of Bambi’s best friends. He earned his name when Bambi, the small one, mistook him for a flower in a bed of fine blooms. Flowers are sweet and a good friend. Coloring both his black and white fur and all the vibrant flowers surrounding him is lovely.
- Faline: She is a young, pretty and flighty deer as well as Bambi’s childhood friend. Their friendship deepens into love as they grow older. Faline is all about the love and family that’s so core to the story.
- The Great Prince of the Forest: Bambi’s father is a courageous and wise deer. He oversees all of the animal dwellers of the forest. He’s a big, strong leader, and he teaches Bambi how to be brave. It’s a fun challenge coloring his big antlers.
- Bambi’s Mother: Bambi’s mother is extremely important to the story at the beginning. She’s a gentle and caring mom who shows a young Bambi how to navigate the forest. The sweet images of young deer in our baby Bambi coloring pages are some of the sweetest.
- Friend Owl: The wise old owl of the forest that gives protips to the other animals. But he is sometimes grumpy and has a sense of humor. He is smart and has many funny moments in the movie. This is especially true when he talks about love in spring.

3. Creative Ways to Use Bambi Coloring Pages
Pages aren’t something that should be put away when all the coloring is done! It is also a far more efficient use of my time than when I would allow completed color pages to pile up. But then I discovered they are awesome for all kinds of fun and practical crafts.

Home Décor
You can put up a pretty colored page as a great, cheap room decoration. Encourage your child to choose their favorite completed picture.

4. Tips for Coloring Bambi and Friends
There are a few great tips that can help it become more fun and make the final art look even better.
Good Colors to Use
You can actually use the movie to help you arrive at that classic Disney look. Bambi’s fur is light brown and covered with white spots, with a white chest and big brown eyes. Thumper is gray with a white, puffy tail and pink in his ears. The flower, naturally, is black and white.
How to Color Forest Scenes
Consider using different shades of green for leaves and grass when coloring the backgrounds to make them feel more life-like! For the tree trunks, you can use a light and dark brown combination. And don’t forget to throw in a bright blue sky or some colored flowers. It makes your art brighten the picture and get it delivered on time.
Fun Ideas for Kids
It’s nice to use the proper colours, but also let your kiddo use their imagination! What would Bambi be like with rainbow spots? Or what if Thumper was blue? There are no rules in art!
You can also have them draw extra animals or things in the background, for example, a little squirrel or some nice butterflies.
Tools to Try
Different tools make your art look different. Crayons are lovable on tiny hands and give a vintage feel. For shadowing and small details, you can’t beat colored pencils, and older kids might ask for them.
Don’t expect earthy, dull tones — markers will provide vibrant, bold color that is sure to make a statement. You might even give watercolors a go for a soft, dreamy look that is ideal for the tender world of Bambi.
