MLK Day coloring pages are a thoughtful way to learn about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement while making something with your hands. MLK Day is a U.S. federal holiday held on the third Monday in January, and many people also mark it as a day to serve their community.
In this set, you’ll see Dr. King in classic scenes like speaking at the Lincoln Memorial, along with moments that show peaceful marches, signs for equality, and themes like courage, fairness, and hope. We also included key people connected to his story, like Coretta Scott King, plus simple symbols that fit the day, like doves, hearts for kindness, microphones, podiums, and “dream” style word art.
We tried to make a strong mix of styles. Some pages are very easy for younger kids, with big shapes and fewer details. Others are a bit more detailed for teenagers, with clearer faces, more background items, and bold quote lettering inspired by real MLK lines that are often shared in schools. All pages are in PDF format, and they are printable in both A4 and Letter paper sizes.
These can work well for a classroom activity, a school hallway display, a youth group meeting, or a respectful poster-making session for an MLK Day service event.
