Long tail feathers fanning out across the page make Peacock Coloring Pages impossible to miss. A crest of tiny plumes sits right on top of the head, and every single feather in the train carries a round eye-shaped spot at the tip.
That is a lot of circles to fill in. Pick up a crayon and start at the beak — the rest follows on its own.
Tail Feathers and Eye-Spot Patterns
The big draw is always that enormous fanned tail. Some outlines spread it wide like a curtain behind the body, while others keep it folded and trailing along the ground.
Each eye-spot in the train sits inside layers of oval rings, making them satisfying to work through one ring at a time.
A few layouts place the peacock on a low branch with the tail hanging down like a waterfall of lines. Others show the bird mid-step on a stone path with feathers just beginning to open.
Scene Layouts
One outline drawing positions a peacock beside a garden fence with vines curling through the slats. Another captures the bird standing on a mossy rock near a small pond.
A line art scene drops the subject into a courtyard with arched doorways in the background. Simpler versions zoom in on just the head and upper body so every crest feather gets room.
Peacock Coloring Pages work well as a printable activity sheet tucked into a stack for long car rides. The repeating eye-spot pattern keeps hands busy without needing instructions.
A mid-detail version shows two peacocks facing each other with tails overlapping — plenty of shapes there. Bold outlines around the body make edges easy to follow, and the thin lines inside the tail add a second level of detail for anyone ready for it.
Fun Fact: A peacock can shake its tail feathers so fast that the movement is hard to see with just your eyes.
Grab Peacock Coloring Pages with the biggest tail spread and tape the finished one on a wall — it fills the space fast. Peacock drawing templates give every feather its own shape, so no two sections look the same once filled in.
Creative Tip: Use a pointed colored pencil to trace inside each eye-spot ring one at a time. Switch to a thick crayon for the body and neck.
