A sword stands upright against a stone wall on these Knight Coloring Pages, the blade tall and the hilt wrapped in a crossguard pattern.
Metal plates cover shoulders and arms, each piece overlapping the next like puzzle sections waiting for a crayon. The helmet sits heavy, visor down, with narrow slits where eyes would peer through.
A shield rests beside the boots — round or pointed, depending on the page — with patterns etched across the surface in clean, open lines.
One or two of these slip into a travel bag without any fuss. Chain mail drapes beneath the chest plate in tiny linked circles, and every tiny square begs for patient coloring.
Why These Knight Outlines Hold Attention So Well
Knight Coloring Pages pull kids in because the armor alone is a maze of detail. Plates, straps, buckles, rivets — everything layered and locked together.
A black-and-white outline of a knight holding a sword overhead shows gauntlets gripping the handle, elbow guards jutting out, and a cape flowing behind in stiff folds. The shapes are bold. The lines are clear.
Some pages zoom in tight on just the helmet and chest piece. Others step back and show a full figure standing beside a castle gate or a drawbridge chain.
A simple line drawing of a knight kneeling with a sword planted in the ground brings a quiet, still moment to the stack.
Printable knight templates range from action poses mid-swing to resting stances where every piece of gear sits visible and separated.

💡 Did you know? Knights wore armor so heavy that once they fell off a horse, they sometimes needed help just to stand back up again!
Each page offers something different. A tight portrait of a helmet gives fine-motor practice. A full battlefield scene with banners and a stone tower in the background keeps older kids engaged longer.
Knight Coloring Pages balance intricate armor details with open background space, so the page never feels too cramped or too empty.
✏️ Creative Tip
Use the side of a crayon to shade the entire shield in one smooth sweep. Go back over the buckles and straps with a colored pencil for sharper edges. Try a gel pen to fill in the chain mail rings one by one for a textured look.
Do any pages show a knight wearing a full helmet with the visor down?
Yes, several designs feature helmets with closed visors and narrow eye slits.
Are there scenes with castles or gates in the background?
