WHO IS SLEEPING BEAUTY
Sleeping Beauty is one of Disney’s oldest princess stories — the 1959 animated film brought the classic fairy tale to life with stunning visuals that still look remarkable today. Princess Aurora, also known as Briar Rose during her sixteen years hiding in the forest, was cursed at birth by the villain Maleficent and destined to fall into an enchanted sleep on her sixteenth birthday. The three good fairies — Flora, Fauna and Merryweather — raised her in secret in a forest cottage, arguing cheerfully about whether her dress should be pink or blue right up until the end.
What makes Aurora’s story hold up across generations is the combination of genuine fairy tale magic, a genuinely frightening villain, and those three fairies who carry most of the warmth and humor in the film. Maleficent in particular has become one of Disney’s most iconic antagonists — her horned silhouette is instantly recognizable, and her dragon form remains one of the most dramatic scenes in Disney animation history.
How to Color Sleeping Beauty
Aurora’s palette is built around two famous looks — the pink dress and the blue dress — and the ongoing argument between Flora and Merryweather about which one she should wear is basically baked into the coloring decision. The pink version is a warm rose-pink with slightly deeper pink at the fabric folds. The blue version is a cooler periwinkle-blue with a cape quality to the sleeves. Both look great and there’s no wrong answer — just pick a side in the debate.
Her hair is golden blonde — warmer and slightly deeper than pale platinum, closer to honey gold. Long and wavy, it fills a lot of the page on most Aurora pages and benefits from two tones: a light golden base with slightly deeper amber in the shadow areas.
The forest and cottage scenes — Briar Rose pages — have a completely different feel from the palace pages. Earthy greens for the forest, warm browns for the timber cottage, soft blue-grey for any stone details. The woodland animals that appear alongside her are excellent for kids who want to practice different animal colors: warm brown deer, grey rabbits, orange-brown squirrels.
Maleficent is one of the most satisfying villain pages to color in any Disney collection. Her robes are deep purple-black — almost entirely dark tones with the dramatic green of her magic as the only contrast. Her skin is pale grey-green, her horns are dark brown-black, and her staff orb glows a sickly yellow-green in the film. The dragon pages are pure drama: dark scales in charcoal and dark green with fire as the one warm accent, if you choose to add it.
The three fairies are color-coded — Flora in red, Fauna in green, Merryweather in blue — and their pages work beautifully because each fairy is immediately distinct. Kids who know the film will know exactly which color goes where. Kids who don’t have just learned the characters.
The rose mandala is the most detail-intensive page in the set. Work from the center outward — deep rose-pink and gold in the inner rings, gradually shifting toward softer pinks and creams as you move outward. Fine-tip colored pencils give the best results on this one.
For the crown close-up page, gold gel pens are the right tool if you have them. The jewel settings can be any color — there’s no canonical gem color for Aurora’s crown, so this is genuinely a creative decision.
What to Do with Finished Sleeping Beauty Pages
Make a Pink-or-Blue Aurora Decision Wall
Print the classic pink gown page and the blue dress page. Color one in pink and one in blue. Cut them out, mount them side by side, and add a small label: “Flora says pink. Merryweather says blue.” Let kids vote by putting a sticker dot under their favorite. It’s a five-minute setup that turns into a surprisingly long conversation.
Turn the Storybook Page into a Reading Activity
The open storybook page — showing the sleeping princess and the prince approaching — works as a creative writing prompt. Color the page, then have kids write their own version of what happens next on the blank pages beside it. What does Aurora say when she wakes up? What does Phillip say? These are the free Sleeping Beauty coloring pages that produce real stories.
Build a Maleficent and Aurora Story Strip
Print the Maleficent villain page, the spinning wheel page, and the waking-up page in sequence. Color all three, write a single caption under each one, and present them as a three-panel story. Kids who love the villain enjoy seeing Maleficent’s page as the beginning rather than the end — it reframes the whole story.
Use the Three Fairies Page as a Party Activity
Print one three fairies page per child at a Sleeping Beauty birthday party. Give each kid three specific crayons — red, green, blue — and tell them which fairy gets which color before they start. It’s a guided coloring activity with a clear goal that takes about fifteen minutes and produces pages that look genuinely coordinated when displayed together.
Frame the Rose Mandala as a Keepsake
Print the rose mandala on cardstock. Spend a proper long session with fine-tip colored pencils — deep pinks and golds in the center, softer tones outward, the rose motifs in warm bloom colors. Frame it simply. This is one of the free printable coloring pages that ends up genuinely displayed rather than filed away.
Make a Sleeping Beauty Birthday Card
Print the kawaii Aurora page or the baby Aurora cradle page at half size. Color it, fold cardstock in half, glue the colored image to the front. Handmade Sleeping Beauty birthday cards take ten minutes and carry the kind of personal effort that printed cards never do.
