Mushroom Path Coloring Page

Grab this free, printable Gruffalo coloring page and let kids bring a towering mushroom forest to life. With a spiky mushroom, root arch, hazelnut lantern, and claw‑print path, it’s a fun scene that’s perfect for a quick coloring break.

What’s in the picture

Look at that huge mushroom taking center stage – its caps are jagged, kinda like the Gruffalo’s spiky back you might have seen in stories. A twisted root arches over the scene, curling into horn‑like loops, and hanging from a knot is a little hazelnut lantern that looks ready to glow. Below, a stone path winds forward, each slab stamped with big claw prints that suggest something massive walked by.

Ideas for coloring

You could make the mushroom caps bright orange or deep purple, and give the roots a earthy brown. The lantern is a fun chance to play with warm yellows or maybe a cool blue if you want a magical vibe. For the pathway, try a mix of grays and tans, and let the claw prints stand out with bold colors. Don’t worry about staying inside the lines – let the crayons or markers dance.

Fun tidbits

The Gruffalo loves hazelnuts, so that tiny lantern is a nice nod to his favorite snack. And those claw prints? They’re a playful reminder of the forest’s bigger residents, even if they’re just imagined.
