Arabic Alphabet Coloring Pages: 28 Free Printable Letters

These Arabic alphabet coloring pages give you all 28 letters as big, hollow outlines, one letter per page. Kids color them in, then use them for letter-of-the-week lessons, classroom displays and Ramadan or Eid decorations. They are simple on purpose: a large clean shape that a four-year-old can stay inside the lines of.

What is in the set

There are 28 pages, in the standard order from alif to ya. Each page shows one letter in its standalone form as a thick outline, with a small web address at the bottom so you know where they came from. Dots are drawn as outlines too, so children color those as well. Nothing else is on the page: no pictures, no words, no clutter.

That makes them flexible. Younger kids color freely. Older kids can write the letter’s name, add a word that starts with it, or decorate the inside with patterns.

The 28 Arabic alphabet coloring pages

To get a page, save the image and print it. Choose US Letter, portrait, and one page per sheet. The files are 500 by 500 pixels, so they print crisp at about half a page. At full page size the lines get soft, which is fine for crayons but not for fine detail.

Alif to Haa (pages 1 to 6)

Khaa to Seen (pages 7 to 12)

Sheen to Dhaa (pages 13 to 17)

Ayn to Kaaf (pages 18 to 22)

Laam to Yaa (pages 23 to 28)

How to print and color them

• Paper: plain copy paper works. Use cardstock for anything you plan to hang or cut out.
• Tools: crayons for ages 3 to 4, markers or colored pencils after that. Markers bleed through thin paper, so slip a scrap sheet underneath.
• Time: about 10 to 15 minutes per letter.
• Tip: color the dots in a different color from the body of the letter. It helps kids notice how many dots there are and where they sit.

Ideas for using the pages

Letter of the week

Pick one page a week. On the first day say the name and sound and color the page together. Later in the week hunt for the letter in a picture book, or glue small pictures of things that start with it. At one letter a week, the alphabet takes 28 weeks; weekend schools often do one letter a session.

A bulletin board or classroom wall

Have each child color a different letter, cut it out and mount it on colored paper. Arabic reads right to left, so start the row at the right with alif. Add a small card with the letter’s name under each one. A finished alphabet border is an easy way to keep the letters in front of the kids all year.

Ramadan and Eid decorations

Color the letters in gold, green or blue, cut them out and string them on yarn as a garland, or tape them to a window. Mixed letters make a pretty pattern, though they won’t spell words, because Arabic letters join and change shape inside a word. More decoration ideas are in our Ramadan for kids section.

Matching and memory games

Print two copies of each of a few letters. Color one set and keep the other plain, then match them. Or turn them face down for a memory game.

Ages and skill levels

• Ages 3 to 4: free coloring and naming the letter. Don’t worry about staying inside the lines.
• Ages 5 to 6: color neatly, trace the outline with a second color, say the sound.
• Ages 7 to 8: write a word inside the letter or around it. These pages give them space to do it.

Coloring is not the same as learning to write. For that, move on to our Arabic alphabet worksheets, which have tracing rows and a letter-name chart.

FAQ

Are these Arabic alphabet coloring pages free?

Yes. Save the images above and print them for home, homeschool or class use. If you want to share them with other teachers, please link to this page rather than re-posting the files.

What ages are they right for?

Ages 3 to 8. Younger children color and name the letter. Older children trace, decorate and add words. Because each page is a single large outline, they are easy for small hands.

Do the pages show the letter in all its forms?

No. Each page shows the standalone form only. Arabic letters change shape at the start, middle and end of a word. Our flashcards for beginning, middle and end of a word cover that next step.

Can I use them for a classroom display?

Yes, and they are good at it. Print on cardstock, let each child color one letter, cut along the outline and mount the letters in order, right to left, starting with alif.

Is there a PDF?

Not for this set. Each letter is a separate image. Save the ones you need and print them one at a time, or insert them into a document and print several pages together.
