Coloring Pages for the Month of October
Welcome to our October coloring pages section.
October has two birth flowers: the marigold and the cosmos. Marigolds are bright golden-orange blooms that symbolize warmth, creativity, and the light of the sun. Cosmos, with their soft pink, white, or purple petals, represent peace, harmony, and order. Together, they bring a mix of cheer and calm to those born in this autumn month.
October’s birthstones are the Opal and the Tourmaline. Opals shimmer with a rainbow of colors that shift and sparkle in the light, symbolizing hope, creativity, and imagination. Tourmalines, on the other hand, come in a wide range of vivid shades, from pinks and greens to deep blues, representing love, compassion, and balance. Together, these two gems capture the colorful spirit of October and make perfect stones for those born in this bright autumn month.
