Celtic Creatures: Green Man Coloring Pages

by Leanne Guenther
Last Updated: October 19, 2026

Welcome to my Green Man coloring pages section.

The Green Man is a face made of leaves, with branches or vines growing from his mouth, hair or eyes. He is often seen as a symbol of nature, spring and new growth. You can find him carved into medieval churches across Europe, and he still turns up in festivals and folklore today. He’s often linked to the cycle of the seasons, with life returning each year.

Some say he's been part of Celtic mythology for a very long time, others feel he's a fairly new creation. I tend to think he's just a simple (modern) name way of sharing some of the mythology of the Celtic god Cernunnos and the male Aos Si like Oberon from Shakespeare.

About the Artist/Author:

Hello! I'm Leanne, the creative mind behind coloring.ws. I love nothing more than enjoying a warm cup of tea and a quiet day with a good friend. Here’s a bit more about me:

Things I Love:

Drawing: My happy place is with a pencil in hand, bringing ideas to life on paper.
Early Childhood Education: I absolutely adore those early, eager-to-learn years with kids. Their curiosity and enthusiasm are infectious!
Mythology: From Greek gods to Aztec legends, I’m fascinated by the stories that have shaped cultures.
History: Exploring the past helps me understand the present and dream about the future.

Things I Have a Love/Hate Relationship With:

Technology: I love how it connects us and makes things easier, but why does it have to change so quickly?
Trivia Nights: I'm your go-to person for fun facts, yet somehow, I always end up in second or third place. Frustrating!
Gardening: I like to think I have a green thumb, but it has a few brown speckles. My plants and I are working on it.
Animals: I adore my pets and they bring me so much joy, but oh, the chores! Why can’t they clean up after themselves?

I earned my degree back in the early '90s, and as a lifelong learner, I continue to delve into the things I love. This includes technology (though I struggle to keep up!), art, early childhood education, history, and mythology as it relates to sociology.

I know that while the coloring pages are largely for kids, many of you visiting the site are educators and caregivers. I’ve tried to share some interesting trivia tidbits and fun facts to make your visit enjoyable too. Happy coloring!
