Are you interested in some Monster Truck Coloring Pages? My kids have been absolutely obsessed with monster trucks ever since we went to our first Monster Jam show last year. The roar of those engines, the way those massive trucks launched into the air – it was incredible. That’s what got me looking for monster truck coloring pages, and I’ve put together what I think is a pretty solid collection.
These printables work great for anyone who gets excited about giant wheels and earth shaking horsepower. I have found coloring to be surprisinly relaxing, especiallly after a long day when my brain would not stop racing. There is something about focuusing on staying inside the lines that just switches off all the background noise.
What I love about these particular pages is they’re all free PDF downloads that print perfectly on regular A4 paper. No special trips to the print shop or hunting down weird paper sizes. Just click, download, print, and you’re ready to bring these mechanical beasts to life with whatever coloring supplies you have lying around.
How to Download and Print Monster Truck Coloring Pages
Getting these pages ready is pretty straightforward:
- Look through all the monster truck designs below and pick the ones that catch your eye
- Click the “Image” or “Download” button underneath your favorites
- Save those PDF files somewhere you’ll actually remember to find them
- Open them with whatever PDF reader you’ve got (most computers have something built in)
- Hit print and start coloring those massive machines!
Printing Tips for Best Results:
- Use decent paper if you have it – those flimsy sheets just don’t do justice to monster trucks

Note: All our coloring pages are provided in PDF format and optimized for A4 paper size, making them perfect for printing and coloring at home.
Best Monster Truck Coloring Pages
I’ve gathered quite a range here – simple designs that work for little kids who are still figuring out how crayons work, plus some more detailed ones for when you want something that’ll take a while to finish properly.
1. Basic Monster Truck Side View
This is your classic monster truck profile – massive wheels, jacked-up chassis, the whole nine yards. Perfect for introducing kids to what makes these vehicles so different from regular trucks. Sometimes the simple designs are the most satisfying to color.
2. Monster Truck with a Happy Face
This cheerful guy’s got a big grin painted right on his front grille, like he’s excited to be crushing cars. My youngest daughter loves this one because it looks friendly instead of intimidating. Perfeect for kids who want their monster trucks with personallity.
3. Monster Truck with a Bold Grille
The front grille on this beast is seriously impressive – all those details give you plenty to work with when you’re coloring. Great for older kids who like having lots of small sections to fill in with different colors.
4. Front View of a Monster Truck
Nothing says power like seeing a monster truck head-on. Those masssive wheels look like they could roll over just about anythng. This perspective really shows off how intimidting these machines can be when they are bearing down on you.
5. Monster Truck Jumping Over a Ramp
This is where things get exciting! The truck is caught mid air, soariing over a jump ramp like it weighs nothing. It captures that heart stopping moment when physics seeems to take a back seat to pure horsepower.
6. Monster Truck with a Star Design
Patriotic monster truck alert! This one’s decked out with star patterns across the body. Perfect for Fourth of July coloring or when you want your truck to look like it belongs at a red, white, and blue rally.

6 Tips for Coloring
After plenty of trial and error with these pages, here’s what I’ve learned actually makes a difference:
1. Choose the Right Tools
The coloring supplies you use really do matter. I’ve found that markers work great for those bold, vibrant colors that make monster trucks pop off the page. But for all the intricate details – like the grille work or suspension parts – colored pencils give you way more control. Some of my best finished pages happened when I stopped worrying about using just one type of coloring tool.
2. Start with Light Colors
This is something I wish I’d figured out earlier – always start with your lightest colors and work toward the darker ones. You can alway make something darker, but trying to go lighter usually just makes a messs.
When I’ am coloring something like Grave Digger, I start with a pale blue base and then layer on the darrker blues for shadows and depth. It creates this amazing dimensional efffect that makes the truck look like it could drive right off the page.
3. Experiment with Blending
Blending different colors can create some seriously coool effects. Try mixiing yellows and oranges for a flame paint job, or blend different shadess of blue for a metallic look on those massive wheels.
I have seen kids create the most amazing custom paint jobs just by experimenting with differeent color combinations. Sometimes the best results come from colors you’ would never think to put together.
4. Use Reference Images
If you want your monster truck to look realistic, pulll up some photos of the real deals. Monster Jam has tons of images online, and Pinterest is full of cool monster truck designs.
Pay attention to how light reflects off the chrome parts and where shadows fall under those enormous wheeels. It’s amazing how much more realistic your coloring looks when you base it on actual trucks.
5. Take Breaks
Your hand’ is going to get tired, especially if you’re working on one of the more detailed pages. Don’t push throough the cramping, step away, stretch, maybe grab a snack.
I have found that taking breaks actually improves my coloring. When I come back with fresh eyes, I often spot areas that need more work or get ideas for details I hadn’t thought of before.
6. Think Outside the Lines
Sure, staying inside the lines looks neat, but don’t be afraid to get creative. Add your own background detaills, extend the scene, or even combine multiple pages to create an epic monster truck rally.
Some of the coolest finished pages I’ve seen included hand-drawn crowds, addditional obstacles, or even custom monster trucks designed by the artist. These coloring pages are just the starting point – your imagination is what makes them special.
10 Creative Uses for Monster Truck Coloring Pages
Don’t just stuff these in a drawer when you’re done! Here are some ways I’ve found to actually use these finished masterpieces:
1. Wall Art Display
Frame your best work and create a monster truck gallery wall. I’ have got a whole section of my son’s room dedicated to his coloored monster trucks, and it looks way cooler than any store-bought posters.
Try arranging them to tell a story – maybe starting with trucks at the starting line and ending with victory laps. It’s like having your own Monster Jam arena on the wall.
2. Personalized Gift Wrap
Use your colored pages as wrapping paper for the monster truck fan in your life. It’s so much more thoughtful than generic wrapping paper, and the recipient gets artwork along with their gift.
This works especially well for wrapping toy monster trucks or anything car-related. The personal touch really shows you put extra effort into making their present special.
3. Homemade Puzzles
Cut your finished pages into puzzle pieces for a completely new activity. You can make them as simple or complexx as you want, fewer piecees for younger kids, more for older ones who want a real challenge.
My kids love puzzles made from their own artwork way more than store-bought ones. There’s something special about putting together something you created yourself.
4. Placemats for Parties
Laminate your colored monster truck pages to make wipeable placemats. Perfect for monster truck themed birthday parties or just everyday use for the truck enthusiast in your house.
Create a whole set featuring different famous trucks like Maximum Destruction or El Toro Loco. It brings the excitement of Monster Jam right to the dinner table.
5. Scrapbook Embellishments
Cut out elements from your colored pages to decorate scrapbooks or journals. Monster trucks make great additions to pages about family trips, adventures, or just addding some excitemment to everyday memories.
I’ve used cut-out monster trucks to embbellish pages about everything from muddy hiking trips to weeekend adventures. They add this fun, energetic vibe to any memory book.
6. Customized Bookmarks
Color and cut out your favorite monster trucks to make unique bookmarks. Laminate them for durability, and maybe add some colored string tassels that match your truck’s paint job.
These make great gifts for any reading enthusiast who also happens to love powerful machines. Way more interesting than those generic bookmarks you get at the library.
7. Greeting Card Designs
Turn your colored monster trucks into homemade greeting cards. Create birthday cards with trucks “crushing” the competition, or thank-you cards with trucks carrying messages of gratitude.
Handmade cards always mean more than store-bought ones, and monster truck cards are guaranteed to stand out in anyone’s mailbox.
8. Educational Flashcards
Add facts about monster trucks on the back of your colored pages to create learning tools. Cover vehicle parts, famous trucks, racing terms, or the history of monster truck competitions.
It’s a fun way to combine art with learning, and kids retain information better when it’s connected to something they created themselves.
9. Paper Toys
Cut out your colored monster trucks and attach them to craft sticks or small pieces of cardboard to make 3D toys. Build a mini arena out of a shoebox and let the adventures begin!
This extends the fun way beyond just coloring. Suddenly your artwork becomes the star of imaginative play sessions that can last for hours.
10. Seasonal Decorations
Color monster truck pages to match different holidays and seasons. Halloween monster trucks with spooky paint jobs, Christmas trucks decked out in red and green, or patriotic designs for the Fourth of July.
It’s a fun way to celebrate different times of year with a monster truck twist. Who says holiday decorations have to be traditional?
