ALF coloring pages to print in PDF
ALF coloring pages are a wonderfully retro treat for families who love the classic 1980s TV sitcom. This free collection of printable sheets features ALF — the lovable, wisecracking Alien Life Form from Melmac — alongside the Tanner family in all kinds of fun situations. With more than a dozen pages available at no cost, kids can print and color their favorite scenes straight from their home printer. Whether your child just discovered the show or grew up watching it, these pages are ready to download and enjoy right away.
A Great Variety of ALF Scenes to Color
One of the best things about this collection is the sheer range of situations on offer. Kids will find ALF lounging in his bed, opening the front door, listening to the radio, and even wearing a dress — classic ALF humor captured in crisp line art. Family scenes are well represented too: ALF riding in the car with the Tanners, sharing a moment with Brian, and getting a stern talking-to from Kate Tanner. Each sheet highlights a different side of ALF's personality, from his mischievous grin to his wide-eyed wonder, giving young artists plenty of creative variety to explore across multiple coloring sessions.
Printing Tips and the Right Age Group
These pages print best on standard US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 in) at the highest quality setting your printer allows. For cleaner lines and richer color payoff, use 80 lb cardstock instead of regular copy paper — especially if your child loves markers or watercolors. ALF's pages work well for kids ages 5 and up; younger children aged 3–4 will enjoy the simpler full-body portraits of ALF, while older kids aged 8–12 can tackle the more detailed group scenes with the entire Tanner family. Always preview the PDF before printing to make sure the image fills the page correctly for the best results.

Coloring ideas for ALF
ALF has a distinctive tan-brown furry coat — try mixing light brown and beige crayons for depth. His snout is darker, so add a touch of dark brown or burnt sienna there. The Tanner family wears warm, earthy 1980s tones: mustard yellows, rust oranges, and olive greens work perfectly. Use sky blue or soft gray for home interior backgrounds to keep ALF's wild fur the clear focal point of every page.
Frequently asked questions about ALF coloring pages
What age group are these ALF coloring pages best suited for?
These pages are ideal for kids aged 5 to 12. Simpler single-character sheets featuring ALF on his own are great for preschoolers and early elementary children, while more detailed scenes — like ALF and the full Tanner family in the car — challenge older kids aged 8 to 12 who enjoy adding fine details, shading, and background color to their artwork.
How do I print these ALF coloring pages at home?
Simply click the page you want, open the PDF, and print using your home or school printer on standard US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) paper. Set your printer to 'fit to page' or 'actual size' to get the best result. For sharper, brighter lines, choose the highest print quality setting available in your printer dialog before hitting print.
Are the ALF coloring pages available as PDF downloads?
Yes! Every ALF coloring page on this site is available as a free, downloadable PDF. PDFs preserve the clean black-and-white line art at the correct size and resolution, so you always get a crisp, print-ready image. You can save the files to your device and reprint them as many times as you like — perfect for siblings or classroom use.
What TV show is ALF from, and will my kids recognize him?
ALF — which stands for Alien Life Form — is the furry, wisecracking star of the hit NBC sitcom that ran from 1986 to 1990. He crash-lands in the Tanner family's garage and moves in with them. The show is available on streaming platforms today, so many kids discover ALF through their parents. Watching a couple of episodes before coloring makes the sheets even more meaningful and fun.
