Creative Indoor Play Daniel Tiger Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter. Rain was falling outside. Daniel wanted to go to the playground, but he couldn’t. He stood by the window with a big pout. “Grrrrr. I’m grumpy.”

Everything felt wrong. His red sweater felt itchy. His juice wasn't sweet enough. He flopped onto the rug with a sigh.

Mom Tiger sat beside him. “It’s disappointing when we can’t do what we want. But a rainy day can be special, too.” She started a quiet song: “When you’re stuck inside and feeling blue, find something new and fun to do!”

Interactive Element: Can you make a grumpy face like Daniel? Now, can you make a happy face?

Daniel thought. What was new and fun? He looked at the couch cushions. Twist: He had an idea! “Mom, let’s make an inside playground!” They piled up the cushions and made a big, soft mountain to climb and a blanket tent to hide in. The rainy day wasn’t grumpy anymore. It was a grr-ific adventure!

Crayons are perfect for this page, as their waxy texture can be used to create soft-looking cushions. Broad-tip markers are great for quickly filling in the large blanket area. Using both can add fun variety to the finished artwork.
