Bedtime Fun Coloring Pages for 3-5

Coloring page story

Lily the lamb could not sleep. She had counted fluffy clouds, sung soft lullabies, and snuggled her blanket, but her eyes were wide open.

Mummy Sheep came in, holding a small, blue honey pot. "This is the Sleepy Pot, little one," she whispered.

She took a tiny spoon and scooped a single, golden drop of honey. "One sleepy drop for my sleepy lamb." Lily tasted it. It was warm and sweet, like a hug from the inside.

Mummy Sheep then tapped the pot gently on the windowsill. Ting... ting... It sang a tiny, sleepy song. Lily yawned a big, wide yawn. She closed her eyes, and as the honey pot hummed its quiet tune, she drifted off to dream of fields full of clover and sunshine.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The round, soft shapes and simple composition are very soothing and approachable for 3-5 year olds. The theme is familiar and comforting. The large areas of the blanket, characters, and window make it easy for young children to practice coloring without frustration.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

It's sleepy time for Lily the lamb! You can make her woolly coat a soft color, like light gray, or even pink or blue! What color is her cozy blanket? Mummy Sheep would look lovely in any color you choose. Don't forget to color the honey pot and the pretty moon and stars in the night sky. A nice dark blue would be perfect for the sky!
