Early Spring Flower Groundhog Day Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Florence the Groundhog woke up because she smelled something wonderful. It wasn't dirt. It wasn't snow. It was... sweet!

She followed the smell with her nose, wiggling all the way to the entrance of her burrow. She poked her head out. The day was cloudy and cool. There was no shadow to be seen. And right by her door, pushing through a patch of mud, was a tiny, brave purple crocus.

Florence gasped. "A flower! Spring is already waking up!" She didn't even think about going back to sleep. She wanted to stay and watch the little flower open.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This scene is very calm and gentle, making it perfect for the 3-5 age group. The focus on a single flower and a single animal creates a clear, easy-to-understand focal point. It encourages quiet observation and appreciation for nature. The large shapes of Florence and the ground are easy for little hands to manage.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Florence found the very first flower of spring! How exciting! Let's color this beautiful moment. Florence can be a soft brown, and you can give her sweet pink cheeks. The story says the crocus flower was purple, so a lovely purple crayon would be perfect for its petals. Don't forget the green stem! This picture shows that even on a cloudy Groundhog Day, spring is on its way.
