Backyard Adventure Imposter Coloring Pages Squeaky!

Coloring page story

Squeaky was a tiny kitten with soft, orange fur. She lived with a family of playful puppies. The puppies said, "Woof! Woof!" So, Squeaky said, "woof!" too.

When she met other kittens, they said, "Meow!" Squeaky tried. "Woof!" she went. The other kittens giggled. "You're not a real kitten!" they said. Squeaky's ears drooped.

One day, a big, grumpy goose waddled towards the kittens, hissing. Hiss! Hiss! The kittens were scared and tried to meow it away, but the goose didn't care.

Squeaky puffed up her chest and gave her biggest, bravest "WOOF!"

Twist: The grumpy goose had never heard a kitten bark before! He was so surprised that he turned right around and waddled away.

The kittens cheered! "Your bark is so brave!" Squeaky learned that it didn't matter if she meowed or barked. What mattered was that she was brave and a good friend.

(Interactive Sound): Let's make our best kitten-bark! Ready? Woof-meow!

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The clear, expressive emotions on the cartoon animals are easy for 3-5 year olds to understand. The action is simple and non-violent, focusing on surprise rather than aggression. The theme of an 'imposter' sound being a source of strength is a simple, positive takeaway.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Don't forget to color in the big 'WOOF!' bubble. Let's give it a powerful, bright color to show how loud and brave she is!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print this on standard paper, as it's a great, quick activity. Having multiple copies is a good idea, as kids might enjoy coloring the 'imposter' kitten's brave moment in different ways. Make sure the printer is set to a dark black setting for strong lines.

Recommended Tools

Crayons are excellent for this page. Encourage your child to press hard inside the 'WOOF!' bubble to make it stand out. Felt-tip pens would also be great for the bold outlines of the characters. This is a great chance to talk about how Squeaky's bark was her special tool.
