Coloring page story

Sam wanted the red crayon. Maya wanted the red crayon. It was the best, shiniest red. "Mine!" said Sam, holding it tight. "No, mine!" said Maya, pulling it. The crayon felt warm and waxy between their hands. They both felt grumpy. Their faces looked like pouty clouds. The paper was still all white. Suddenly, SNAP! The red crayon broke in two! One piece for Sam, one piece for Maya. They both looked down, surprised. Sam looked at his piece. Maya looked at her piece. Then, Maya had an idea. She took her blue crayon and drew a big, round puddle. Sam took his piece of the red crayon and drew a little boat floating in Maya's blue puddle. Together, they made a beautiful picture they couldn't have made alone.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This scene focuses on a single, clear concept: two children working together. The large, distinct areas for coloring (the boy, the girl, the boat, the puddle) are perfect for 3-5 year olds who are still developing fine motor control. The theme of sharing is a cornerstone of the kindergarten social experience.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Look at these two new friends! Sam and Maya are making a picture together. You get to finish it! What color will you make the big puddle? A lovely blue? And how about the little boat? You can give Sam and Maya brightly colored shirts. Great job working together, just like them!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print this page on standard letter-sized paper. Consider printing two copies so two children can color side-by-side, mirroring the theme of the story. This turns a solo activity into a shared kindergarten project.

Recommended Tools

Twistable colored pencils are great for this age as they don't require sharpening. Crayons are a classic choice that allows for blending if the child wants to try mixing colors on the page, just like the story's theme of creating something new together.
