Printable Color Wheel


Free printable color wheels showing primary, secondary and tertiary colors — in both filled and blank versions to colour in yourself. Available in round and flower designs. Use as wall posters, classroom displays, or hands-on colour mixing activities.

These color wheels use red, yellow and blue as the primary colors — more familiar to children than the magenta, cyan and yellow used in printing, and better suited to art activities with paints and pigments.

Hang the filled versions as wall posters to make a kids room more colourful. While children enjoy looking at them, they'll naturally absorb the names of colours and the relationships between them. Use alongside our color flash cards for a complete colour learning set.

For preschoolers doing colour mixing activities, always use safe food dye or non-toxic pigments.
