Funny Monsters at School Coloring Page

Monster math has begun, and the class is doing its best. Our funny monsters at school coloring page takes you inside a classroom where a tall one eyed teacher in round glasses points at the chalkboard. The lesson reads 2 eyes + 1 eye = 3 eyes, and the board even shows it with a row of real eyeballs. The homework says, "Eat it." In front of her sit five happy students at their desks.

We marked this medium because there are many characters on the page, but each one is built from large round shapes. Kids from about 5 to 11 will like it. It may take 30 minutes or more, so it suits a rainy afternoon or a class art period.

Meet the class

In the front row, a furry green monster with one giant eye raises its hands and laughs, with an apple on the desk for the teacher. It has three arms, by the way, so check that you found them all. Next to it, a pink blob with two feelers is reading a book held upside down. You can tell, since the letters A and B are flipped. On the right, a yellow monster with a row of orange spikes chews on a pencil.

Behind them, a square orange student with three eyes and two horns stares ahead. A paper plane sails past. It came from the desk on the right, where one blue body shares two fuzzy heads. One head is smiling, and the other is laughing, so they probably know who threw it.

Funny monsters at school coloring page color ideas

Monsters have one great rule: any color is the right color. That means your child cannot get this wrong. Even so, a plan helps. Give each student a different main color so they stand apart.

• Green fur with a yellow horn
• Pink blob with yellow feeler tips
• Purple teacher in a teal vest
• Blue two headed pal with a pale tummy

A green chalkboard looks like the real thing. Keep all the words on it pale so they remain easy to read. The desks can be a plain wood color, which gives the eye a rest after all that bright fur.

Tips for a crowded picture

Start at the back and move forward. Color the chalkboard, then the teacher, then the back row, and finish with the front row. Your hand will rest on parts that are not done yet, so nothing gets smudged.

Fur edges look better when your strokes follow the spikes outward. On smooth monsters like the pink blob, use soft round strokes. Those two textures side by side make the class feel more alive. There are also small pointy teeth here and there. Leave them white.

Check the legs under the desks, since each monster has its own matching shoes. It is a tiny detail, and kids enjoy finding it.

Monster class activity

Write your own monster math. How many eyes are in this class? Count them with your child, then write a new problem. For example, 3 eyes + 2 horns = what? There are no wrong answers, and that makes it a good way to warm up shy kids.

Teachers can have each student invent a new monster for the class, then draw it on a separate sheet. Give it a name, a favorite subject and one strange school supply. Pin them around the page for a full monster classroom. You may also add a seating chart.

A true fact about one eyed giants

Long before cartoons, people told stories about one eyed creatures. In Greek myths, the Cyclopes were giants with a single eye set in the middle of the forehead. Their name means round eyes. One of them, Polyphemus, appears in the old story of Odysseus. Our green student is much better behaved.
