Barnaby's simple Puddle Adventure Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Barnaby the Bear Cub woke up. The world smelled clean and new. Pitter-patter-plink was gone. The rain had stopped.

He waddled outside and saw a shiny, wobbly circle on the path. It was a puddle! Barnaby poked it with his toe. Wiggle, jiggle. He looked into the puddle and saw a fluffy bear looking back! He waved a paw. The puddle-bear waved back!

Barnaby giggled. He stomped one foot. SPLASH! The puddle-bear disappeared in a spray of happy drops. Barnaby laughed and laughed, splashing until the sun turned the puddle into a tiny, shimmery jewel.

The design is ideal for ages 3-5. It features large, uncomplicated shapes with thick, clear outline strokes.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Hello, little artist! Look at happy Barnaby splashing in the puddle. Can you grab your favorite crayons or markers? Let's try to color inside the thick black lines. You can make Barnaby a brown bear, a black bear, or even a rainbow bear! What color is the water in the puddle? Maybe blue or sparkly silver? You get to choose and make this simple picture beautiful.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For best results, print this line art page on sturdy paper like cardstock, which holds up well to crayons and markers. Use your printer's 'black and white' or 'grayscale' setting and select a high-quality option to ensure the simple outline strokes are crisp and clear for your little colorer.

Recommended Tools

Chunky crayons are perfect for little hands in this age group as they are easy to grip and hard to break. Washable markers are also a great choice for vibrant colors. Both tools work beautifully on the large, empty spaces provided in this outline-only design, making for a fun and simple coloring session.
