Free printable preschool level coloring pages
Ranked #177 in Parenting & Kids, #5,664 overall
Easy coloring pages are a great way to help your child improve their fine motor skills!
Neurotypical kids (kids without developmental problems) from ages 18 months to 3 years may enjoy some of these coloring pages as well! The ones that I designed on this page were intended for beginner level colorers. I have included tips on how to manage coloring with children who have autism (further down) but everyone is always welcome here!
Please remember that I screen the sites that I link to personally- any site that causes pop ups (other than a welcome page) is excluded as well as any sites that require paid registration or purchase to access the free coloring page. If a site requires FREE registration, I may include it if it is impressive, but the registration requirement WILL be noted in the link summary. Please leave a comment or contact me if you find any links in my list that either did not offer a free product or caused irritating popups so that I can remove them!

Free Printable Coloring Page: Gingerbread Man
I can personally attest to the offensive texture in crayon wrappers- my skin crawls just thinking about it (my son and I both have SID with tactile aversions). Additionally, the paper type can be a challenge, I prefer the smoother paper- as close as possible to feeling like plastic while my son prefers a coarse and fibrous texture like that of construction paper.
There are a few simple things that you can do to help a child with autism who hates to color (this is purely addressing the desire to escape the sensory aspects of the activity- read further down for proprioceptive techniques to improve coloring accuracy).
Try removing the paper from the crayons to see if that helps.
Try different types of paper
Try markers or colored pencils.
The toddler crayons that are shaped like a long teardrop often have less of an odor- perhaps your olfactory sensitive child would enjoy those more.
Try using half sheet pages - they are more challenging as far as fine motor but require less contact and a visually sensitive child may prefer them because they will not have to look at such a large and stark area.
Different tints of paper may also help a visually sensitive child if they are upset by bright white paper- I recommend one with a grayish tint. These can be found at crafting and office supply stores- if you try scrapbooking sheets that you cut to size and print on then you only need to purchase one sheet as opposed to an entire ream while you try to identify the child's offending texture or color!

Tips for staying in the lines.
Check your child's grip. Are they holding they crayon correctly for their age?
Pencil weights are great for helping with poor proprioception, you can also try different shapes of crayons!
Try tracing the lines on the blank page yourself with elmers glue to create raised borders. Obviously your child should not color that page until it dries! Once they get the hang of it a bit better, try doing it again, only stay 1/4 to 1/2 inch outside of the line so that they will have some blank area to avoid themselves but that they will not be all over the page!
