Looking for welcome to grades coloring pages that feel cheerful, easy to print, and actually exciting for kids to color? These welcome to kindergarten coloring pages, first grade coloring sheets, second grade printables, third grade coloring pages, fourth grade activities, fifth grade worksheets, and sixth grade coloring pages are made for that sweet little back-to-school moment when everything feels new: the backpack, the classroom, the teacher’s smile, the slightly-too-big shoes.
I still remember the first morning of school in my own classroom, when the cubbies were freshly labeled, the crayon bins were full, and half the kids walked in with backpacks almost bigger than they were. Some came in grinning. Some stood by the door, quiet as little mice.
And more than once, a simple coloring page helped everyone settle in. A cheerful “Welcome to First Grade!” sheet or a friendly school bus to color gave nervous little hands something to do while the room slowly started feeling like theirs.
That’s why this set of 25+ Welcome to Grades Coloring Pages was created with a gentle first-week-of-school feeling. You’ll find printable designs from kindergarten through sixth grade, with school buses, classroom doors, reading corners, book mountains, science labs, lockers, goal boards, and all those little school-year symbols kids know and love.
They’re simple enough for young children, fun enough for older elementary students, and handy enough for teachers, parents, homeschoolers, and anyone trying to make the first day feel a little softer.
Welcome to Kindergarten Coloring Pages
To use these welcome to grades coloring pages, simply click PRINT on the coloring sheet you like, open the image, and print it on regular white printer paper. These pages work nicely on both US Letter and A4-size paper, so you can use them at home, in the classroom, for morning work, first-week-of-school activities, or a calm little coloring break.
I usually suggest printing a few extras too, because there is always one child who wants “just one more” page after the crayons come out.

A Gentle Start to a New Grade
A new grade looks exciting on paper. New backpack. New crayons. New classroom door with somebody’s name taped above a cubby.
But for a child, it can also feel big. Really big.
That is why these welcome to grade coloring pages for kids are more than just a cute first-week activity. They give children something simple to hold onto while the day starts making sense. A school bus to color. A reading corner. A science lab. A locker. A little “Welcome to Sixth Grade” page sitting on the desk like a quiet hello.
You can use these pages for morning work, first-day activities, homeschool lessons, classroom displays, bulletin boards, or those in-between moments when everyone needs to breathe for a minute. I always loved having something gentle ready on those first school mornings, because not every child walks in ready to talk. Some need crayons first. Some need a page. Some need five quiet minutes before they feel brave.
And sometimes, funny enough, it isn’t the big welcome speech that helps a child settle in. It’s the little coloring sheet in front of them. The one with the school bus, or the book mountain, or the giant pencil. Something simple enough to color while they figure out, slowly, “Okay. I think I can belong here.”
