Big rectangular windows line up in a neat row across these Bus Coloring Pages, and there’s already a crayon hovering over the front wheel. Tires sit thick and round beneath the frame.
The door folds open on one side, steps leading down to the curb. A few of these tuck into a bag easily for waiting time between errands.
Mirrors stick out from the top corners like small ears, and the bumper stretches wide across the front. Everything holds still on the page — parked, idling, ready to go nowhere except under a pile of colored pencils.
💡 Did you know? Some buses in the world have two full floors stacked on top of each other, and passengers sitting up top can see right over the rooftops of cars!
What Keeps Kids Reaching for Bus Outlines
Bus Coloring Pages hit a good spot because the shape itself is satisfying — long, boxy, full of repeating windows that make a natural rhythm across the page.
A black-and-white outline of a bus parked at a stop gives clean, straight edges that smaller hands can follow without frustration.
The flat sides leave big open panels for wide crayon strokes, and the wheel wells add just enough curve to break up the straight lines.
Coloring helps with hand-eye coordination.
Some designs keep it stripped down. One bus, one road, maybe a stop sign. Others build out a full street scene with sidewalks, a bench, and a row of buildings behind the route.
A simple line drawing of a bus from the front shows the wide windshield, the headlights sitting low, and that broad bumper stretching corner to corner.
Printable bus templates range from side-view profiles to angled perspectives where the front and side both show at once.
What’s on the Page
- A long rectangular body with evenly spaced windows running the full length
- Two or four thick tires with visible tread lines and wheel hubs
- A folding door on the right side with steps descending to street level
- Side mirrors extending from the upper front corners
- Headlights mounted low on either side of a wide front bumper
- A route number panel above the windshield
- A bus stop sign standing on the curb beside the door
- Exhaust pipe detail at the rear beneath the back window panel
The ready-to-print sheet format means no trimming, no adjusting — just straight from the printer to the table. That matters when a kid is already asking for it.
Bus Coloring Pages work because the subject is familiar, the shapes are forgiving, and there’s enough detail to hold attention without tipping into overwhelming.
✏️ Creative Tip
Use the flat side of a crayon to fill the entire bus body in one smooth layer. Switch to a colored pencil for the window frames and small details like mirrors. Try a gel pen to trace the tread pattern on each tire.
Do any designs show the bus from a front-facing angle?
Yes, at least one page features a bus viewed straight from the front with both headlights visible.
Are there bus stop signs or benches included in the scenes?
Several outlines include a curbside stop sign and a bench beside the bus.
Will the windows be empty or have seat outlines inside?
Most windows are left open, though a few show basic seat shapes through the glass.
