Free Printable Labor Day Clip Art – This free printable Labor Day clip art collection includes four original sheets made for cutting, coloring, classroom displays, craft tables, worksheets, and bulletin boards. Instead of placing one decorative poster on each page, the designs keep the individual objects or workers separated so they can be used as true clip art.
What’s included in the clip art pack?
- Tools and workplace symbols: a hard hat, toolbox, hand tools, safety gear, factory, package, clipboard, work boot, gear, lunch pail, and handshake.
- Community workers: nine friendly occupations shown as separate full-body characters.
- Work-and-learning objects: school, health care, food service, farming, delivery, art, and household tools.
- Black-and-white icons: open line art that can be colored before cutting.
The artwork is generic and contains no company logos or branded characters. The first sheet is used as the featured image because it gives the broadest overview of the collection.

How to print and cut the individual graphics
- Open the full-size JPG and print on US Letter paper at “Actual size” or 100%.
- Use ordinary copy paper for worksheets or cardstock for reusable cutouts.
- Leave a narrow white border around each illustration while cutting; this protects small edges.
- For labels or small decorations, print two or four pages per sheet in your printer settings.
- For coloring, choose the black-and-white sheet and use crayons, pencils, or washable markers.
Ideas for using the graphics
Classroom and homeschool activities
Ask children to sort the pictures into tools, places, vehicles, and occupations. The community-worker page can support a discussion about the different kinds of work that help a town function. Students can also choose one graphic and write a sentence describing the job or tool.
Bulletin boards and appreciation displays
Cut out the characters or tools and arrange them around student-written thank-you notes. Because the sheets include health care, education, food, farming, construction, delivery, office, and service work, the display can recognize a wider range of contributions.
Cards, labels, and simple crafts
Reduce the print scale to make gift-tag decorations, thank-you cards, place cards, or notebook labels. Avoid using the art in a way that suggests endorsement by a real employer or government agency.
A note about Labor Day and artwork use
Labor Day honors the social and economic achievements of American workers; the U.S. Department of Labor’s Labor Day history provides background on the holiday’s development. The graphics on this page are original and were created for this printable collection. Do not assume that unrelated images found through a search engine are free to reuse: the U.S. Copyright Office copyright overview explains that copyright protects original visual works and outlines lawful ways a work may be used.
Pair the clip art with an activity
For a ready-to-solve classroom activity, print one of the Labor Day crossword puzzles with answer keys and use the cutouts to decorate a bulletin board beside it.
Frequently asked questions
Are these transparent PNG files?
No. The download files are high-resolution JPG sheets on a white background, as requested for easy US Letter printing.
Can the black-and-white icons be colored?
Yes. They use open shapes and clear outlines so children or adults can color them before cutting.
How can I make the clip art smaller?
Choose multiple pages per sheet or reduce the scale in your printer settings. Print one test page before producing a large classroom set.
