Coloring page story
Barnaby the Groundhog had a very important job, but he was a little forgetful. He woke up, stretched, and thought, "My tummy is rumbly."
He popped his head out of his burrow, not to look for his shadow, but to look for a tasty clover snack. He saw the sunshine. He saw the snow. He saw a little red bird. But he forgot to look down for his shadow!
He nibbled on a frozen berry he found, then felt a sleepy yawn coming on. "What a nice snack," he thought, and he went back inside for a nap. The other animals just shrugged. "Well," said a wise old owl, "I guess we'll just have to wait and see!"
Coloring page Age Appropriateness
This style is wonderful for ages 3-5 as it tells a mini-story within one image. The characters are simple and friendly. The lack of a shadow simplifies the scene, allowing children to focus on the narrative of Barnaby and his snack. The large, distinct shapes of the groundhog, bird, and landscape are perfect for developing motor control.
Coloring Page Coloring Instructions
Oh-oh, Barnaby forgot his job! He's too busy eating a yummy snack. Can you help color his adventure? You can make Barnaby a nice, cozy brown. What color is the little bird watching him? Maybe it's a red bird! And the little berry he found could be red or purple. The ground is covered in snow, so you can fill the big space with soft blues or leave it snowy white. This is your silly Groundhog Day story!
Coloring Page Printing Tips
Print on matte paper to give this picture book-style illustration a soft, story-like feel. Use your printer's standard quality setting. A clean print helps define the characters, making it easier for your child to engage with Barnaby's forgetful Groundhog Day moment.
Recommended Tools
Colored pencils are a great choice here, allowing for gentle shading on Barnaby's fur or the bird's feathers. Of course, chunky crayons are always a fantastic and safe option for this age group, perfect for filling in the large areas of snow and sky with bold color.
