Pi Day Coloring Sheets
Pi Day is better with crayons. Here are free coloring ideas and activity pages you can print at home or in the classroom — no account required.
Skip the prep: we've made the four most popular sheets ready to print. Head to the Pi Day printables page and hit print — black-and-white printers are fine, kids supply the color.
1. Color-by-digit pi spiral
Assign a color to each digit 0–9. Then print out the first 100 digits of pi and let kids color each cell in a 10×10 grid according to its digit. The result is a one-of-a-kind abstract piece every kid will want to keep.

2. Giant π symbol
A big outlined π symbol ready to color, decorate with patterns, or surround with your own designs. Hand out to early finishers or as a desk decoration project.
3. Pi Day pie
A circular pie divided into slices labeled with pi facts, each waiting to be colored in. Combine with a classroom pie-eating contest for full dopamine points.
4. Pi digit search
The first 1,000 digits of pi printed in groups of ten. Ask kids to find their birthday, their phone number, or any sequence they like, and highlight it. Every short sequence almost certainly appears somewhere in the first million digits.

5. Connect-the-digits pi mural
A large poster version of the color-by-digit spiral for the entire class to work on together. Use the million digits page to pick your starting position, or print several copies of the 10×10 grid and tile them on the wall.
Prefer to make your own?
- Open the digits of pi page and copy the first 100 or 200 digits.
- Paste them into a spreadsheet (Google Sheets works) in a 10×10 or 10×20 grid.
- Set row height and column width to create squares.
- Print with "no gridlines" turned off so the borders show.
- Hand out alongside a legend mapping each digit (0–9) to a color.
Why coloring pi works
Turning abstract numbers into visual patterns is a well-known trick for making math memorable. When you color every "3" blue and every "7" orange, something remarkable happens: the randomness of pi becomes visually beautiful, and the repetition helps kids internalize the sequence. Many Pi Day champions say their first 50 digits came from an art project like this.
