Vowel Coloring Pages
Introducing vowels to young children can feel tricky, and these vowel coloring pages are here to help add some fun to the process.
Part of what makes vowels tricky is the fact that A, E, I, O, and U can produce several distinct sounds. Consider the differences between the ‘a’ in the words ‘apple’, ‘ate’, and ‘around’. Each pronunciation is unique and understanding these variations is essential for young readers.
This variability in vowel sounds is just one of the reasons that it’s important for children to identify and differentiate among these sounds at an early stage. These vowel coloring pages serve as a great way to introduce children to a few of the different sounds vowels can produce.

Fun Ideas for Your Vowel Coloring Pages
Recommended for: Kindergarten
⭐ Let’s Hear It
As your child colors in each vowel coloring page, encourage them to try reading all the words they see on the page out loud. As they read, ask them to pay close attention to the sounds the vowel makes in each word and how the same vowel can make different sounds.
⭐ Vowel Brainstorm
These coloring pages introduce your child to the vowels A, E, I, O, and U. As they encounter each vowel on their coloring pages, work with them to think of 10 more words that use that vowel. Write down their list of words in the blank spaces of the coloring page, and talk about how the vowel changes sounds depending on the words it’s in.
⭐ Take a Vowel Walk
The next time you and your child are running errands or outside exploring, ask them to think of the vowels in their vowel coloring pages. Then challenge them to find those vowels in the world around them. Consider offering them paper and crayons to draw pictures of the objects they see that use vowel sounds.
