Festival of Lights Firefly Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

All the houses in the village were filled with glowing lamps and candles for the Festival of Lights. But Flicker, a little firefly, was sad. His own little light wouldn't glow. It was just a dull little bump. He flew to a window and watched a family light a beautiful candle. The candle's flame danced and seemed to wave at him. Flicker felt a warm, happy feeling inside. He felt so happy that his own little light began to glow, faint at first, then brighter and brighter! He flew out into the night, a tiny, flying lantern, joining the celebration. The holiday's warmth had helped him find his own light.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design is very suitable for ages 3-5. The firefly is a simple, cute bug shape, not scary or overly detailed. The concept of 'light' is shown with easy-to-color star shapes. The large, open spaces for the firefly's light, the candle flame, and the window are perfect for this age group's motor skills.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Let's help Flicker the firefly find his light! You can color his body, and then make his tail light up with your brightest yellow or orange crayon. See the candle in the window? Let's make its flame bright and warm, too. The little sparkles show how bright they are shining. You can make the sky a beautiful, dark night color!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For a stunning result, print this on regular paper and provide a yellow or gold glitter glue pen for your child to trace the light from the firefly and candle after they finish coloring (with supervision, of course!).

Recommended Tools

A combination of a dark crayon (blue or black) for the sky and a very bright crayon (yellow or orange) for the lights will create a beautiful contrast. This is a great way to teach children about light and dark.
