Happy 100th Day of School Coloring Page with a Smiling Backpack

Print this 100th day of school coloring page for the morning your class reaches day 100. Happy 100th Day of School runs across the top in round bubble letters, with a small th raised beside the 100. A big hollow 100 fills the middle of the sheet, and a smiling backpack, a short pencil and a stack of books stand in front of it.

It is a free printable for ages 4 to 8, with thick outlines and wide shapes. The date of the 100th day depends on each school's calendar, so the page goes on the class calendar whenever that day arrives.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "the words Happy 100th Day of School in big bubble letters at the top of the page, with a big hollow number 100 in the middle of the page, and a smiling backpack, a small stack of books and a pencil beside it, drawn with simple bold outlines for kids, the backpack and the books kept small enough to leave a wide white margin below them, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page".

The phrase "a smiling backpack" gave the bag a face, with shiny eyes, oval cheeks and an open smile. The words "a big hollow number 100" left the large 100 empty inside.

What's on This 100th Day of School Coloring Page

The number 100 shows up twice on this page. A smaller 100 sits in the title with its th, and a much larger one stands under the words in hollow outline, so children see the same number in two sizes.

A teacher can count the days on the class calendar with the group, from 1 to 100, and then hand out the sheet. The backpack and the books tie the number to school, so a finished page also works as the cover of a 100th day folder.

The title runs on four lines, with Happy on top, 100th below it, then Day of, and School at the bottom. Two short dashes and two outline stars sit on each side of the title. The large 100 is made of three hollow shapes, with the backpack in front of the 1 and the books in front of the last 0.

The backpack has a top handle, a shoulder strap, a side pocket on each side and a front pocket with a zipper pull and a heart. The stack holds three books, each with a blank label on its side, and the pencil has an eraser, a band and a sharpened tip.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Color the three shapes of the big 100 in three different colors, or use your school colors for all of them. Keep the shine dots in the backpack's eyes white and give the oval cheeks a light pink.

Give each book its own color so it stands apart in the stack, and write the title of a class read-aloud on each blank label. Children who finish early can draw ten rows of ten dots in the white space at the bottom of the page and count them to 100.

For a page with your class name above the number, make a 100th day page with your class name and print one for every desk.
