Totoro Coloring Pages [20 Free Printables to Download]

There is something especially relaxing about coloring Totoro. The big round shapes, woodland settings, tiny forest details, and familiar characters leave plenty of room to play with color without making the page feel too busy.

The collection includes 20 printable Totoro coloring pages with a mix of well-known scenes and quieter forest moments. Some pages focus closely on Totoro, while others include Mei, Satsuki, the Catbus, smaller Totoros, animals, flowers, rain, trees, and nighttime settings. The designs change from page to page, so the set stays interesting if you plan to color several of them.

You can print a favorite page for a quick afternoon activity or work through the full collection over time. The larger spaces are comfortable for crayons and markers, while leaves, flowers, mushrooms, acorns, and other smaller details give colored-pencil users plenty to work with.

20 Printable Totoro Coloring Pages

Here are all 20 designs included in the collection. Use the Download Now button beneath any page you want to print.

A Totoro Collection With Plenty of Variety

A good coloring collection gets boring quickly when every page uses the same pose with a slightly changed background. I wanted this set to feel broader than that.

Rainy scenes give you umbrellas, puddles, plants, and water to color. Forest pages bring in mushrooms, tree trunks, leaves, grass, and flowers. The nighttime designs give you a completely different palette if you want to use deep blues, purples, soft yellows, or whatever colors you associate with a quiet evening sky.

There are also several character combinations. Big Totoro appears alone on some pages, while other designs bring in the smaller Totoros, Mei, Satsuki, or the Catbus. That mix works well for anyone who wants the familiar characters without seeing the same composition twenty times.

A few of my favorites are the bus stop scene, the flying scene, the growing tree, and the moonlight page because each gives you a very different setting to work with.

How to Download and Print the Pages

Each design has its own Download Now button. Open the page you want, save the printable file, and print it using your usual printer settings.

For the cleanest result:

• Use white printer paper for everyday coloring, or slightly heavier paper if you plan to use markers.
• Choose portrait orientation before printing.
• Set the page to fit within the printable area so the outer border stays visible.
• Use standard or high-quality print settings if thin details look faint on your printer.
• Print individual designs as needed instead of printing the whole collection if you only want a few favorites.

Crayons and colored pencils work well on regular printer paper. Markers can bleed through thin sheets, so placing scrap paper underneath the page can protect the table. Cardstock is another good choice if you want a finished page that feels firmer.

Coloring Totoro With Your Own Palette

You can follow the familiar colors from the film, but there is no reason every page has to stay close to the original palette.

Forest scenes are especially fun to change with the seasons. A bright spring page can use fresh greens, pink flowers, and a pale blue sky. The same kind of woodland setting can feel completely different with orange leaves, brown grass, red mushrooms, and warmer autumn colors.

Rainy pages also leave room for experimentation. Try a yellow umbrella, dark blue puddles, green plants, and a soft gray sky, or use brighter colors if you want the rain scene to feel cheerful.

The moonlight and flying pages can handle stronger contrast. Dark skies around a light moon can make the central characters stand out, while stars and clouds give you smaller areas for accent colors.

Children may prefer filling larger areas with crayons, while older kids and adults can spend more time on leaves, flowers, acorns, bark, fur edges, and background details. There is enough open space in the designs to use either approach comfortably.

Fun Ways to Use the Finished Pages

Printing and coloring is enough on its own, but finished pages can also be used for simple home and classroom projects.

A colored page can go into a frame for a bedroom or reading corner. Several finished sheets can be placed together on a wall for a small Studio Ghibli themed display. Children can also choose a favorite page and give it to a friend or family member.

If you are planning a movie afternoon, print a few designs before watching My Neighbor Totoro. Coloring before or after the film gives kids something connected to the characters without requiring a complicated craft setup.

The pages can also work well during quiet time, rainy afternoons, school breaks, sleepovers, or weekend activities. Keeping a few printed copies ready means there is an easy activity available without having to set up paints, glue, or a pile of craft supplies.

Which Totoro Page Should You Print First?

Start with the kind of scene you usually enjoy coloring.

For large open spaces, Big Totoro Forest Scene, Totoro Sleeping, or Totoro With Butterflies are good starting points. Anyone who likes busier backgrounds may prefer Totoro in a Flower Field, Totoro With Forest Animals, Totoro by a Stream, or Totoro in Autumn Leaves.

Character fans will probably head straight to Mei Sitting on Totoro, Three Totoros Together, Totoro Gardening With Mei, or the Catbus page.

The nighttime designs are worth saving for colored pencils or markers if you enjoy experimenting with darker skies and brighter accents. Totoro Flying at Night and Totoro Moonlight Scene both give plenty of room for that.

Make a Small Totoro Coloring Book

If one page turns into five, it may be easier to print the complete set and make a simple coloring book.

Keep the sheets loose in a folder, place them in plastic sleeves, or punch holes along one side and put them into a binder. Children can return to unfinished pages later, and completed sheets stay together instead of disappearing into different drawers.

Another option is to print the collection gradually. Choose a few pages for spring, save the rain designs for a wet weekend, use the autumn scene later in the year, and keep the moonlit pages for an evening coloring session.

Since the 20 designs use different settings and character combinations, the collection still feels varied when several pages are kept together.

FAQs

Are these pages suitable for kids?

Yes. The designs use clear outlines and recognizable shapes, with a mixture of larger coloring areas and smaller background details. Younger children can focus on the main characters, while older kids can spend extra time on plants, scenery, and smaller objects.

Can adults color them too?

Absolutely. Pages such as the forest scene, flower field, stream, autumn setting, growing tree, and moonlight scene have enough surrounding detail for anyone who enjoys slower, more careful coloring.

What should I use to color them?

Colored pencils, crayons, and markers can all work. Colored pencils are especially useful for small leaves, flowers, mushrooms, and other background details. Crayons are comfortable for the larger areas, and markers give stronger blocks of color.

Can I print the same page again?

Yes. Saving the printable file means you can print another copy if you want to try a different color scheme or give the same design to more than one child.

Which paper works best?

Regular white printer paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils. Heavier paper is a better choice for markers because it reduces the chance of ink soaking through. Your printer’s supported paper weight should determine how thick you go.

Are all 20 Totoro coloring pages different?

Yes. The collection changes the characters, poses, backgrounds, weather, plants, and settings across the set. You will find rainy scenes, forest settings, flowers, animals, a picnic, a stream, autumn leaves, the Catbus, smaller Totoros, and nighttime pages.

Pick a Favorite and Start Coloring

You can download one design or print several and turn them into your own small collection. I would start with the scene that immediately catches your eye, then come back for the others whenever you want another quiet coloring session.

The umbrella, Catbus, flower field, growing tree, autumn, and moonlight designs are especially nice together because each gives you a completely different group of colors to work with.

Choose your page, grab your favorite pencils, crayons, or markers, and enjoy coloring.
