Cozy Mouse in a Stocking Coloring Pages for Toddlers

Coloring page story

Squeaky the field mouse was very cold. The winter wind whistled, and his nest of dry grass just wasn't warm enough. He shivered and wished for a cozy Christmas corner.

He scurried along a wooden fence and saw something he’d never seen before. It was red and fuzzy and hung from a fence post, forgotten by a child. It was a Christmas stocking!

Timidly, Squeaky peeked inside. It was dark, soft, and smelled faintly of candy canes. He crawled all the way to the toe and curled up in a little ball. The wool was so warm and snug. The wind couldn't find him in there. Squeaky had found his very own Christmas house, and he snoozed happily, dreaming of cheese and gingerbread.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is ideal for the 3-5 age group. The main subject, the stocking, is very large and simple, making it easy to color. The mouse is a cute, simple character that adds emotional appeal without adding difficult details. The cozy theme is comforting and relatable.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Shhh, little Squeaky the mouse is sleeping in his warm stocking house! You can make the stocking his favorite color. Maybe a classic red, or a green one with colorful stripes? The fluffy cuff can be white like snow. The little mouse is probably dreaming of cheese! Let's color him in gently so we don't wake him up.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print this on slightly thicker paper (like 24lb or cardstock) to enhance the 'cozy' feeling of the artwork. It gives a nice weight to the final colored piece, making it feel more special.

Recommended Tools

Soft-leaded colored pencils would be lovely for blending colors on the stocking. Chunky crayons are also fantastic for filling the large area quickly and easily, which is very satisfying for young children.
