Garfield, that lovable orange tabby who's been making us laugh since 1978, is a perfect subject for coloring pages. Kids and adults alike can't get enough of his lazy antics, sarcastic humor, and never-ending love affair with lasagna.

Whether your child is a longtime fan or just discovering the world's most famous cartoon cat, these printable pages offer hours of entertainment and a fun way to develop coloring skills while chuckling at Garfield's timeless appeal.

Garfield's Lazy Day Fun

If there's one thing Garfield does better than anyone, it's lounging around! Our lazy day coloring pages showcase the tubby tabby in his natural habitat – sprawled across the couch, napping in a sunny window, or simply laying belly-up in a state of pure relaxation. These simple scenes are perfect for younger colorists who are just learning to stay within the lines. Kids love adding bright orange to Garfield's fur and personalizing his cozy spots with their favorite colors. These pages also offer a gentle reminder that sometimes, taking it easy is exactly what we all need – a message that resonates with kids and parents alike!

Mealtime With Garfield

Food is Garfield's greatest passion, and our mealtime coloring pages celebrate his infamous appetite! From his legendary love of lasagna to his coffee addiction and everything in between, these pages capture Garfield in various states of culinary bliss. Children get a kick out of coloring steaming pans of pasta, overstuffed sandwiches, and Garfield's comically ecstatic expressions as he dives into his meals. These food-themed pages spark wonderful conversations about favorite foods and can even inspire kitchen adventures after coloring time. Don't be surprised if your kids request lasagna for dinner after spending time with these pages!

Odie and Garfield

The classic friendship (or rivalry!) between Garfield and Odie makes for some of the most entertaining coloring pages in our collection. These scenes capture the playful dynamic between the sarcastic cat and the lovably dim-witted dog who shares his home. Kids particularly enjoy coloring pages where Garfield is playing tricks on Odie or rare tender moments when they're actually getting along. The contrast between Garfield's orange fur and Odie's yellow coat offers a fun color challenge, and children learn about character relationships as they bring these scenes to life. These pages often become favorites, generating laughs and inspiring conversations about pets and friendships.

Holiday Garfield Pages

Garfield celebrates holidays in his own uniquely sarcastic way, and our holiday-themed coloring pages capture his festive spirit! From Halloween scenes with Garfield reluctantly dressed as a pumpkin to Christmas pages featuring the fat cat eyeing presents under the tree, these seasonal coloring sheets are perfect year-round additions to your collection. Children especially love the Thanksgiving pages, which typically involve Garfield drooling over a turkey dinner. These holiday pages not only provide timely coloring fun but also help children connect with seasonal traditions through a character they adore. They're perfect for classroom activities or getting kids excited about upcoming celebrations.

Jon and His Cat

The relationship between Garfield and his owner Jon Arbuckle is the heart of the comic strip, and these dedicated coloring pages highlight their special bond. Jon's patient (if somewhat exasperated) care for his demanding pet creates scenarios that children find highly amusing to color. From Jon serving Garfield his dinner to cleaning up after his messes, these pages showcase everyday moments that pet owners will recognize. Kids enjoy adding color to Jon's simple outfits and the domestic settings of their home. These pages also provide wonderful opportunities to talk about pet care and responsibility, all wrapped up in the humor that makes Garfield comics so enduringly popular.

Garfield's Other Friends

Beyond Odie and Jon, Garfield's world is filled with memorable characters that appear in our coloring page collection. There's Nermal, the self-proclaimed world's cutest kitten who annoys Garfield to no end; Arlene, the pink cat who serves as Garfield's sometimes-girlfriend; and Pooky, the beloved teddy bear who's the only one to see Garfield's soft side. Children love discovering these supporting characters and bringing them to life with colors. These pages help expand the Garfield universe for young fans and provide variety in their coloring sessions. The different animal characters also offer practice in coloring various textures and patterns, from Nermal's petite gray fur to Arlene's distinctive pink coat.

Adventure Time with Garfield

Though Garfield prefers his couch to the great outdoors, our adventure coloring pages show the reluctant cat on rare excursions outside his comfort zone. Whether he's camping (reluctantly), traveling in a car (complaining), or somehow ending up at the beach (suspicious of the sand), these scenarios show Garfield dealing with the indignity of adventures he never wanted. Kids find these situations hilarious to color, especially Garfield's grumpy expressions contrasted with beautiful outdoor settings. These pages also allow for more creative backgrounds as children can add vibrant colors to nature scenes, vehicles, and new environments. They're perfect for slightly older kids who enjoy creating more detailed coloring works with diverse elements.

Garfield Through the Years

Since his debut in 1978, Garfield's appearance has evolved, and our coloring collection includes pages showcasing the famous cat throughout his history. From his early, rounder design to the more streamlined modern version, these pages give kids a peek at how beloved cartoon characters develop over time. Parents who grew up with Garfield often enjoy these pages just as much as their children, sharing memories of their own experiences with the comic strip. This nostalgic element makes coloring a multi-generational activity that connects family members through shared laughter. These historical pages also make great educational tools for discussing how art styles change and develop over the years.
