The jumbo jet is one of the most recognizable type of aurplane in the world, and our 53 jumbo jet coloring pages bring that big friendly widebody to the page in every way kids love. These free printable jumbo jet coloring pages download as a PDF in US Letter or A4, ready to print at home with no signup or wait.
The collection runs from chunky toddler-friendly silhouettes right through to detailed cockpit views and busy airport scenes. Younger children will find big simple shapes they can color confidently on their own. Older kids who already know their way around an airport will love the cabin scenes, the hero water-bomber pages, and the enthusiast-level cockpit and engine close-ups.
These ideas are realistic, cheap to set up, and work just as well at the kitchen table as they do in a busy classroom. Most need nothing more than scissors, glue, and what's already in the craft box.
Build a Boarding Pass Travel Pack
This one turns coloring time into a whole pretend-flight setup. Color one of the simpler jet pages, then make matching boarding passes that feature your "destination," a seat number, and a flight time. Kids love stamping the passes themselves before "boarding."
It's a great quiet-time activity for the day before a real family trip too.
You'll need:
One colored jumbo jet page (the side-on toddler page or three-quarter view work best)
Plain card or thick paper cut into rectangles
Pens or markers
A small toy stamp or sticker sheet
Scissors
How to do it:
Color the jumbo jet page and trim around the edges if you like
Cut card rectangles roughly the size of a real boarding pass
Write or draw a destination, seat number, and flight time on each pass
Stick a sticker or stamp in the corner as the "scanned" mark
Hand the pass to a passenger and start the flight
Tape the colored jet to a kitchen chair and let the imaginary journey begin.
Make a Window-Seat Cloud Scene
This idea uses one of the cabin window pages to create a stand-up scene a child can keep on their desk or bedroom shelf. The trick is to make the clouds outside the window pop forward in 3D so it really looks like the plane is flying.
It's a calming, slightly older-kids project and the finished piece looks great on display.
You'll need:
One colored cabin window page (the kid looking at clouds page is perfect)
White paper or cotton wool
Glue stick or tape
A piece of stiff card for the backing
Scissors
How to do it:
Color the page and glue it onto stiff card to make it stand up
Cut out small cloud shapes from white paper or pull cotton wool into puffy shapes
Stick small folded paper tabs to the back of each cloud so they sit slightly raised off the page
Glue the clouds onto the page around the window so they pop forward
Stand the finished scene on a shelf or desk
The 3D effect is small but kids notice the difference straight away.
Create a Departures Board Display
This is a brilliant classroom or playroom project that brings several coloring pages together into one wall display. The idea is to color a row of jets and pin them up next to a paper "departures board" listing where each one is flying to. It works especially well with the page showing three jets at gates.
Great for geography practice as a side benefit.
You'll need:
Three or four colored jumbo jet pages from the collection
A long piece of black or dark paper for the board
White chalk or a white pen
Tape, blu-tack, or pins
A wall, noticeboard, or large piece of card for the backing
How to do it:
Color a few different jet pages and trim around the edges
Cut a long rectangle of dark paper to act as the departures board
Write destinations, gate numbers, and times on the board with white pen
Pin or tape the colored jets above or beside the board
Update the board each day with new "flights"
This one keeps growing every time a new page gets colored.
Build a Suitcase Mobile
A nice change of pace from a plane mobile. This version hangs colored jets from a clothes hanger or hoop along with little paper suitcases, all swinging together over a child's bed or play area. The luggage cart page is a useful starting point because it already shows suitcases for inspiration.
Light, easy, and quietly satisfying once it's hanging.
You'll need:
Two or three colored jumbo jet pages
Plain paper for cutting suitcase shapes
A wire coat hanger or wooden hoop
String or thin ribbon
Hole punch and scissors
How to do it:
Color the jets and cut them out neatly
Draw and color simple rectangular suitcase shapes with handles, then cut them out
Punch a small hole at the top of each jet and suitcase
Tie different lengths of string through each hole
Tie the other end of each string to the hanger or hoop and hang it up
Watch the planes and luggage drift past each other in the breeze.
Make a Pop-Up Airport Card
This one turns the airport gate scene into a folded card with a jumbo jet that pops up when the card opens. Kids love the surprise reveal and it's a lovely card to give to a grandparent or family member who's about to travel.
A bit fiddly for very small hands but a great rainy afternoon project for ages 6 and up.
You'll need:
One colored jumbo jet page (a smaller jet or three-quarter view works best)
A folded sheet of card to make the card base
Glue stick
Scissors
Pens for adding a message inside
How to do it:
Fold the card sheet in half to make the base
Color and cut out the jumbo jet shape
Cut two small parallel slits in the fold of the card and push the strip between them inward to create a pop-up tab
Glue the back of the cut-out jet onto the front of the pop-up tab
Close the card and reopen to check the jet pops up - then write a message inside
The reveal moment is what makes this one worth the extra effort.
The biggest jumbo jets ever built were so heavy at takeoff - around 575 tons fully loaded - that they needed wings nearly as wide as a soccer pitch is long to lift them off the ground.
