Meet the Characters of Elwood City
Our collection features all the friendly faces you know and love from the classic books and the hit PBS Kids show.
- The Star of the Show: Arthur Read: Of course, we have plenty of pages featuring our favorite aardvark! Color in Arthur with his iconic round glasses and yellow sweater, reading a book, playing with his dog Pal, or hanging out with his best friend, Buster.
- D.W. and the Read Family: What would Arthur’s life be without his spunky, imaginative little sister? You’ll find fantastic D.W. coloring pages here, along with scenes featuring Baby Kate, Mom, Dad, and of course, Pal the dog!
- Adventures with Buster, Francine & Friends: The adventures are always better with friends! We have pages dedicated to Arthur’s diverse group of pals. Color in the alien-loving Buster Baxter, the super-sporty Francine Frensky, the fashionable Muffy Crosswire, and the brainy Alan “The Brain” Powers.
Learning and Growing with Every Crayon Stroke
An Arthur Read coloring page is more than just fun—it’s a wonderful learning tool that reflects the values of the show itself.
- Promotes Literacy: Arthur’s world is filled with books and a love for the library. Coloring his picture can be a perfect companion activity to reading an Arthur book or watching an episode, reinforcing the joy of stories.
- Encourages Problem-Solving: Just as Arthur and his friends navigate the challenges of growing up, coloring requires focus and decision-making. Which color should D.W.’s dress be? How can I stay in the lines? These small challenges build concentration.
- Sparks Conversations about Friendship: Coloring scenes with Arthur and Buster or Francine and Muffy is a great opportunity to talk with your child about what it means to be a good friend, to share, and to work together.
