Saints Coloring Book for May
The May Saints Coloring Book has a cover with words and a border that can be colored. It also includes six coloring pages with saints who have feast days during the month of May. Each saint page also has a colorable border plus the saint’s name and feast day.
Each page of the coloring book is a half sheet of paper. As a result, two pages fit on each standard 8.5×11 piece of paper.
Saints included in the May Saints coloring book:
- Saint Dominic Savio
- Saint Damien of Molokai
- Our Lady of Fatima
- Saint Rita
- Saint Philip of Neri
- Saint Joan of Arc
Note: If you don’t want to wait for each individual month to be posted from now until July, you can purchase all 12 saints coloring books at once.
How to Put Together the Saints Coloring Pages to Make Your Saints Coloring Book
You have a few options for putting together the saints coloring books. I can’t help it – I love coming up with different options!
I’ll show you using both the May saints coloring book and the cover of the August Saints Coloring Book as examples:
Here are the options that I have for you on how to assemble this saints coloring book:
1. Print this whole project on just two pages using duplex printing
If your printer allows for duplex printing or you can manually do this with your printer, you can print the first page of the book on one side of the paper and the second page of the book on the other side of the paper. Then, you will do the same with one piece of paper and the third and fourth page of the book.
The directions on how to manually duplex print on printers are different for each printer. So, unfortunately, I can’t really help with directions on exactly how to do this on your printer. Sorry!
Once I had my two double-sided pages ready, I just folded them in half and made them into a book. I used my long reach stapler to fasten them together in the middle. Easy peasy!
Or, you can always just fold them together and then use a regular stapler to staple the fold together.

2. Print the pages single-sided and cut them apart
If you don’t want to mess with double-sided copying or you don’t want the coloring pages to be printed back-to-back, you can print out the four pages of the printable and cut them in half to get your eight page coloring book. Then, assemble in the order of your choosing and staple them together.
This can also be a nice option if you are having children work on this just one page at a time.
3. Don’t make them into a book at all
Follow the second suggestion up until that stapling part. This is good if you want to give kids one half-page at a time and don’t want to give them a whole book at once.
