Young Racer Behind the Wheel of a Race Car

Coloring guide
A kid in a big round helmet grins from the cockpit of an open-wheel race car, both hands tight on the steering wheel. The visor is raised, so you can see wide eyes, a little nose, an open smile and tufts of hair. A rear wing sticks out on both sides behind the driver, and big tires sit at the left and right edges. Across the bottom, a checkered flag waves with plenty of squares to fill in. Wide shapes and bold outlines suit preschoolers and early elementary kids, and the free printable is handy for a racing party or a rainy afternoon. A red helmet and car body with classic black and white checks on the flag gives a real finish-line look. This page is part of our Race Car coloring pages collection — check out Trains and Cars too.

- 3Color the side bars, the wavy checkered flag squares, and the wheel rims in golden yellow.
- 4Use dark gray for the tires, the helmet visor sides, and the steering wheel edges, then light gray for the inner parts of the tires.
- 5Color the racing suit, sleeves, and steering wheel center in bright blue, keeping the gloves and shoulder straps white.
- 6Add brown to the hair and coral pink to the open smiling mouth. Optional: add light shading with a darker shade of each color for a little depth.
