Printing Tips and Skill Levels
These sheets are designed to work beautifully on standard US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 in). For the crispest results, set your printer to its highest quality mode and choose "fit to page" so nothing gets cropped. Younger children aged 3–6 will love the pages with bold outlines and simpler character poses like Pichu the parrot or Sancho and Pedro, while older kids aged 7–12 can tackle the more detailed scenes featuring intricate Olmec patterns and background elements. Using colored pencils gives the most control for fine details, while washable markers deliver bold, vibrant results that younger kids find satisfying.
Whether your child is a lifelong fan of the series or just discovering it for the first time, these pages make a perfect creative activity.

Coloring ideas for The Mysterious Cities of Gold
Use warm golden yellows and rich earth tones — terracotta, burnt orange, and deep brown — to capture the ancient Mesoamerican world of the show. Esteban looks great in warm sandy hues, while Tao suits cooler blues and greens. Give Mendoza a bold dark blue coat. Pichu shines in bright tropical greens and reds. Add metallic gold accents for Olmec decorations and temple details to really make the artwork pop.
