Axolotl Coloring Pages for Kids

Axolotls are a kind of salamander, which makes them amphibians, not fish. Wild axolotls come from lakes and canals near Mexico City and keep their feathery gills for their whole lives. They can regrow lost limbs and tails, and they are critically endangered in the wild. Those frilly gills and that wide, upturned smile make them fun to color. These free pages have bold outlines for kids ages 3 to 8 at home, in class or in a homeschool science lesson. Little ones can start with Axolotl Blowing Bubbles, Axolotl in a Teacup or Axolotl on a Lily Pad.

Older kids can try Astronaut Axolotl in Space, Axolotl Surfing a Wave, Axolotl Hiding in a Castle or Axolotl Mom with Her Babies. Seasonal pages include Axolotl Catching Snowflakes, Axolotl with a Smiling Pumpkin and Axolotl in a Christmas Stocking. Print one for a rainy day, or a stack for an amphibian unit.

Axolotls coloring pages: FAQ

Is an axolotl a fish?

No. An axolotl is a salamander, which is an amphibian. It lives in water and has gills and a finned tail, so it looks like a fish, but it belongs to the same animal group as frogs and newts.

Which axolotl pages are easiest for young kids?

Try Axolotl Blowing Bubbles, Axolotl in a Teacup, Axolotl on a Lily Pad or Axolotl Wearing a Tiny Crown. They are rated easy, with big, simple shapes for ages 3 to 5.

Can axolotls really regrow body parts?

Yes. Axolotls can regrow lost legs and tails, and even parts of their hearts, which is why scientists study them. In the wild they are critically endangered, so a page can start a talk about protecting animals.
