WHO ARE TOM AND JERRY
Tom and Jerry are a cat and a mouse created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, first appearing in 1940 in a short called Puss Gets the Boot. The premise is simple: Tom is a house cat who wants to catch Jerry, a mouse who lives in the walls, and neither of them ever quite succeeds at what they set out to do. What followed was one of the longest-running rivalries in animation history — over 160 original theatrical shorts, multiple TV series, and a relationship between two characters that somehow manages to be genuinely funny decade after decade.
What makes Tom and Jerry hold up is the physical comedy — every expression, every chase, every trap that backfires is drawn to be maximally expressive on a single frame. Tom’s shocked face, Jerry’s smug grin, the moment right before something goes catastrophically wrong — these are images that land immediately with kids who’ve never seen the show and adults who’ve watched every episode. The 2021 live-action film brought the characters to a new generation, and the classic shorts are still widely watched, making Tom and Jerry one of the most consistently searched cartoon coloring characters online.
How to Color Tom and Jerry
Tom is blue-grey — a specific cool grey with a slight blue tone rather than a neutral grey. Most people go too dark and end up with something that looks more charcoal than Tom. A light-to-mid cool grey works best as the base, with slightly deeper grey at the edges and shadow areas. His ears have a pink inner section, his nose is a small dark oval, and his eyes are pale yellow-green. The white areas of his muzzle and chest are important — leaving those areas white rather than filling them keeps him looking like Tom.
Jerry is warm brown — a friendly medium brown that leans slightly orange-tan rather than going too dark or too cool. His belly and muzzle are cream-white, his ears are pink inside, and his eyes are black. He’s the warmer character palette-wise, which is part of why the two read so well together on a page — cool blue-grey against warm brown creates contrast without either character needing bright colors.
The cheese pages are some of the most fun to color in the set — classic cartoon cheese is bright golden-yellow with circular holes throughout. The holes can be left white or colored very lightly in a pale yellow. Bright saturated yellow for the cheese itself makes these pages pop immediately.
The chase pages work best when you lean into the motion lines — coloring those in a very pale grey or leaving them white both work well, but adding a slight warm yellow or orange behind the motion lines suggests speed in a way kids really enjoy.
The Christmas pages have the most color variety in the set. The tree in deep green, baubles in red and gold, Santa hat in bright red with white trim, elf costume in green with red details — these pages reward patient coloring with a genuinely festive result.
The Halloween pages are the most dramatic in the collection. The vampire costume is deep purple-black with a red lining on the cape, the ghost costume is white with pale grey shadows at the sheet folds, and the jack-o-lantern is the deep amber-orange that reads as properly carved pumpkin rather than Halloween decoration orange. Black bats and a pale yellow moon complete the palette.
For the baby Tom and Jerry pages and the preschool simple duo page, the large open areas work perfectly with chunky crayons — these are the most forgiving pages in the set and the ones that finish fastest.
What to Do with Finished Tom and Jerry Coloring Pages
Make a Chase Story Strip
Print the Tom sneaking page, the kitchen chase page, and the living room mess page in sequence. Color all three, write a caption under each one, and present them as a three-panel comic strip. Kids who know the show immediately recognize the arc — setup, chase, consequence — and kids who don’t have just been introduced to the best slapstick formula in animation history.
Turn the Cheese Feast Page into a Food Activity
Print the Jerry at the cheese table page. After coloring, ask kids to replace the cheese with their own favorite food — draw it on top or write it on the plate. What’s your version of Jerry’s cheese? It’s a one-minute addition that makes a generic coloring page feel personal and is worth keeping.
Build a Tom and Jerry Birthday Party Set
Print the birthday cake page, the baby Tom and Jerry page, and the kawaii duo page. Color them with bright party colors, cut them out, and use as table decorations or name cards. The birthday cake page is particularly good as a centerpiece — Tom and Jerry’s shared expression of cake-focused concentration is something every kid at a birthday party immediately understands.
Use the Halloween Pages as a Party Activity
Print one Halloween chase page per child at a Halloween party. Set out specific crayons — grey for Tom’s vampire cape, white for Jerry’s ghost sheet, orange for the pumpkin — and let kids fill in the rest however they want. Comparing finished pages at the end produces tables full of very different pumpkin color interpretations, which is more entertaining than it sounds.
Make a Living Room Scene Before and After
Print the kitchen chase page and the living room mess page. Color the kitchen chase first — everything still intact, motion lines, full speed. Color the living room mess second — lamp tipped, cushion on the floor, Tom apologetic. Display them side by side as a before and after. It tells a complete story in two pages without a single word.
Frame the Classic Portrait for a Kid’s Room
Print the classic duo portrait — Tom and Jerry in their circular frame — on cardstock. Color Tom in his signature blue-grey and Jerry in warm brown, take your time on the frame details, and put it in a simple round frame. It’s one of those finished pieces that looks like something you’d find in a vintage cartoon gift shop, and it works on any kid’s bedroom wall.
