Brave Fireworks Coloring Pages for Ages 3-5

Coloring page story

Barnaby Bear did not like loud noises. When the first firework went BOOM!, he hid under his mom's big, soft arm. "It's too rumbly," he whimpered.

His mom hugged him tight. "That's not a scary rumble, Barnaby. That's the sky having a giggle. It's so happy, its tummy is rumbling with laughter!"

A FIZZLE-CRACKLE! went off. "That's a sky-giggle," Barnaby whispered. Another big BOOM! went off, and Barnaby felt the rumble in his own little chest.

Instead of being scary, the rumble felt… tickly! Like a happy, shaky hug. He giggled. "The sky is tickling me!" he squealed. He peeked out just in time to see a purple sparkle-fountain. He wasn't hiding anymore. He was waiting for the next happy sky-giggle.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

Perfectly suited for 3-5 year olds. The round, soft shapes are non-threatening and inviting. The scene depicts a moment of safety and joy, which is reassuring. The large, uncluttered areas for coloring are ideal for developing fine motor control without frustration.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Look, it's Barnaby Bear! He's not scared anymore, he's giggling! Can you give him a nice, furry brown color? And his mom's arm can be a warm, cozy color, like a soft blanket. For the big firework, you can use your brightest, most sparkly colors! What color is a 'sparkle-fountain'? It can be any color you choose!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on matte paper to prevent markers from smearing. This will give your little one a smooth surface to work on. Ensure your printer settings are on 'black and white' to get the purest outlines for this coloring page.

Recommended Tools

Fat, washable markers are great for making the fireworks look brilliant and bold. For a softer look, large crayons are perfect and help strengthen little hand muscles. Encourage your child to try making dots with the marker tip for the sparkly parts of the firework!
