Hello, awesome parents and brave kiddos!
At worryfreeanesthesia.com, we know that getting ready for a trip to the operating room can feel a little scary for children. That’s why we’re so excited to share our brand-new Operating Room Coloring Activity for Kids—a fun, interactive, and mess-free way to help kids get familiar with the OR environment before their big day!
As a CRNA, I’ve created these special coloring sheets to feature things kids might see in the operating room, like the bright OR lights, the cool anesthesia machine, and other equipment that helps keep them safe during surgery. These online coloring pages are designed to spark curiosity and turn the unknown into something fun and approachable. By coloring these images, kids can explore the OR in a playful way, which can help ease those pre-surgery jitters.
Parents, these coloring sheets are also a great tool for you!
Use them to start a conversation with your child about what they’ll see and experience in the operating room. Explaining the equipment in a calm, creative way can make the whole process feel less overwhelming and more like an adventure.
The best part? Our coloring activity is completely FREE and online! Kids can pick a color from the palette with a click and then click to fill in the spaces on the sheet—no crayons, no mess, no coloring out of the lines, just stress-free fun.
Whether your child is preparing for surgery or just curious about the OR, these activities are designed to bring comfort and confidence.
Dive into the fun and start coloring today to help your child feel ready for their operating room adventure! Keep scrolling to check them out, and if you want to see more activities, check out our FREE surgery-themed puzzles, games, and stories!
To color, just click the color and then click the space. If you want to start over or change your mind, you can click the color you like instead or, click "clear all colors" to start over.
Happy coloring!! 🖍️
