Barnaby's Pumpkin autumn Coloring Pages for Preschoolers

Coloring page story

Barnaby Bear went to the pumpkin patch with his daddy. He wanted to find the perfect pumpkin. He saw a tiny, small pumpkin. "Too little," he said. He saw a very, very tall pumpkin. "Too wobbly," he grunted. Then, he saw it. A round, fat, bumpy pumpkin that was the most beautiful orange he had ever seen. It was too heavy to lift, so he gave it a great big bear hug. "This one!" he roared happily. Daddy Bear helped him roll the bumpy pumpkin all the way home.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The 'Cute Animal Cartoon' style is highly appealing to 3-4 year olds. The main character, Barnaby Bear, is friendly and sweet. The shapes, especially the large central pumpkin and the bear's body, are big and simple, making them easy for small hands to color. This autumn-themed scene helps children practice staying within the lines while coloring a story they can easily understand.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Look, it's Barnaby Bear! He found the best pumpkin. Let's color it in for him. What color is a big, round pumpkin? That's right, orange! You can use your favorite orange crayon. And what color will Barnaby be? Brown, or maybe a silly color like blue? It's your picture! Try to keep your beautiful colors inside the big, strong black lines. You're doing a great job!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

To make the outlines stand out, print on bright white paper using a standard or high-quality printer setting. A slightly thicker paper will hold up well to enthusiastic coloring with markers or crayons, ensuring a beautiful finished piece that celebrates the autumn season.

Recommended Tools

Washable markers are fantastic for making the pumpkin a vibrant, solid color. Colored pencils can be used by children with more developed motor skills to add different shades to the bumpy sections of the pumpkin. Both tools are great for filling in the large, simple outlined shapes.
