Baby Snake Coloring Page (Free Trace Then Color Page)
Today’s post features a free page from Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff 2, and this one is all about a cute little reptile. This free Baby Snake Coloring Page shows an adorable baby snake with big expressive eyes, one tiny tooth, and a coiled-up cuddly pose that makes it more sweet than scary.
Snakes don’t usually get described as cuddly, but this one definitely earns that title. With its rounded shapes and friendly expression, this baby snake is designed to feel approachable and fun for young artists.
If you’re looking for a simple activity that combines tracing and coloring, this free Baby Snake Coloring Page is a great place to start.
Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff 2
About Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff 2
Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff 2 is the follow-up to the original Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff. This second volume expands on the same idea with an all-new set of fun, kid-friendly characters and objects to trace and color.
The book includes a wide variety of designs, all created to be approachable, simple, and fun. Each page is structured the same way: trace first, then color.
The baby snake featured in this Baby Snake Coloring Page is a great example of the style used throughout the book. Clean outlines, expressive features, and just enough detail to keep things interesting without overwhelming beginners.
Why Trace Then Color Works So Well
The Trace Then Color format is designed to remove pressure. Instead of asking kids to draw something from scratch, it gives them a structured starting point.
Tracing helps with:
- Fine motor skills
- Hand-eye coordination
- Pencil control
- Confidence building
Once the tracing is complete, the coloring portion allows for creativity. On this Baby Snake Coloring Page, kids can experiment with bright greens, soft pastels, rainbow patterns, or even completely unexpected colors.
There’s no “correct” way to color it. That freedom is part of what makes the activity enjoyable.
The Original Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff
Before Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff 2, there was the original Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff. That book introduced the format and helped establish the series as a fun, low-pressure way for kids to practice drawing skills.
The first volume focused on a wide range of cool, kid-friendly subjects, and the second book builds on that foundation with new characters and fresh designs.
If your child enjoyed the original Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff, this second book offers more of what made the first one successful. And if you’re just discovering the series, either book is a great entry point.
Designed to Feel Cute, Not Scary
Snakes can sometimes be portrayed as scary or threatening, but this baby snake was intentionally designed to be the opposite.
The big adorable eyes immediately make the character feel friendly. The single tiny tooth adds personality without making it look dangerous. The coiled pose gives it a soft, rounded silhouette that feels almost plush-like.
This approach makes the Baby Snake Coloring Page especially appealing to younger kids who might otherwise shy away from reptiles.

A Simple, Screen-Free Activity
The free Baby Snake Coloring Page works well as a quick art activity at home, in the classroom, or during quiet time. It doesn’t require complicated instructions. Kids can trace, color, and even draw extra details around the snake if they want to.
Some might add grass or flowers. Others might draw a whole family of baby snakes. The tracing portion provides structure, but the coloring stage opens the door to imagination.

About the Free Baby Snake Coloring Page

Kids start by tracing over the pre-drawn lines of the baby snake. This helps build hand control, confidence, and familiarity with basic shapes. After tracing, they can color the snake however they like.

Fun facts about the real snake
- Snakes smell with their tongue, flicking it to pick up scents.
- Snakes don't have eyelids, so their eyes are always open.
- Snakes shed their whole skin as they grow.
Draw your snake, then add one of these facts in a speech bubble or on the back of the page.
Finished? Draw the scene next
- Add a background: draw a picnic blanket with snacks.
- Write one line under your picture to finish this story:
It sniffed the basket and…
That’s a picture book page. Draw two more and you have a whole story.
Draw it, then write about it
Give your baby snake a name. Where does it live, and what does it love to do? Write two or three sentences.
Print a draw-and-write sheet: a box for the drawing and lines for the story. Primary lines (K–2) · Regular lines (grades 2–5)
Want to make it a whole story? Try the comic story starter or fold a mini-book in Story Studio.
Common mistakes and quick fixes
- The head is too small for a cartoon look.
- Cartoon animals are cute because their heads are big. Make the head almost as big as the body.
- The eyes are too far apart.
- Keep the eyes close together near the middle of the face. Leave about one eye’s width between them.
- The legs don’t line up with the body.
- Draw the legs straight down from the bottom of the body, so the animal looks like it’s standing on the ground.
- Coloring over the lines on the edges.
- Outline the inside edge of each shape first, then fill the middle. It works like a fence.

Talk about it
For the grown-up: ask one or two of these while your child draws. There are no wrong answers.
- Where does this animal live, and what does it eat?
- If this animal could talk, what would its voice sound like?
- What would you change if you drew it again tomorrow?
- Which part are you proudest of?
