      Little Red Riding Hood, or Little Red Ridinghood, also known as Little Red Cap or simply Red Riding Hood, is a French and later European fairy tale about a young girl and a Big Bad Wolf. The story has been changed considerably in its history and subject to numerous modern adaptations and readings. The story was first published by Charles Perrault. Little Red Riding Hood is number 333 in the Aarne-Thompson classification system for folktales. Read more . . .

      The coloring pages below are based upon a very old European fairy tale version of "Little Red Riding Hood." I have redrawn and resized them for printing and coloring. Teachers and homeschoolers may print unlimited copies of these particular images for their classroom activities.

Little Red Riding Hood gives her mother hugs and kisses before starting her
 long journey through the woods to visit her elderly grandmother. See, her mother has
made up a basket of food for her to take.
