Buzzy Bee Meets Marigolds Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Buzzy the Bee was very shy. He saw a big, bright marigold, but he was too scared to say hello. "It's so... orange!" he buzzed nervously.

The marigold, named Goldie, saw the little bee hiding. "Hello there!" Goldie said in a soft, gentle voice. "Would you like some sweet nectar?"

Buzzy zipped back behind a leaf. "I... I'm a little shy," he whispered.

Goldie didn't laugh. She just unfolded one of her soft petals. "That's okay," she said. "This petal is a perfect landing spot. You can rest here whenever you want." [Interactive Element: Hold out your hand flat like a petal for a bee to land on.]

Twist: Buzzy didn't fly to the middle of the flower. He just landed on the very edge of the petal Goldie offered. It felt safe. He took a tiny sip of nectar. It was the sweetest he'd ever tasted!

From that day on, Buzzy and Goldie were the best of friends. Buzzy wasn't so shy anymore, because he knew he always had a safe place to land.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The 'Round & Soft Cartoon' style is exceptionally well-suited for ages 3-5. The absence of sharp angles and the use of gentle curves create a visually soothing and non-intimidating image, mirroring the story's theme of safety and gentleness. The large, simple shapes of the marigold are easy for little hands to color, while the small bee offers a chance to practice more detailed coloring in a low-pressure way.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

This is Goldie the marigold and her new friend, Buzzy the bee. Goldie is a very kind flower, so let's give her warm, happy colors like yellow and orange. Buzzy the bee is resting on her special petal. You can color his stripes yellow and black. Can you try to stay inside the lines? It's okay if you go outside a little bit, just have fun!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on matte photo paper for a special treat; crayons and colored pencils will glide beautifully on the smooth surface. For everyday fun, standard copy paper works perfectly. Ensure your printer settings are on 'normal' to keep the soft lines from looking faint.

Recommended Tools

Twistable crayons are a fantastic, no-mess option. They allow for coloring both the large petals and the smaller bee with ease. Encourage your child to try coloring the petals in a pattern to make their marigold unique!
