Coloring page story

Lily the Bunny and Milo the Mouse had one big slice of watermelon to share. "I see seeds!" said Lily. "Me too!" said Milo. They decided to count them. "One, two, three for me," said Lily, picking them out. "One, two, three for you," said Milo. They took turns until all the little black seeds were in two neat piles. When they finished, they saw the seeds had made a smiley face on the plate. The watermelon was smiling at them! They giggled and shared the happy slice.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The chibi style with large heads and simple bodies is very appealing to children 3-5. The central, clear image of a smiling watermelon is easy to understand and color. The large, distinct areas—watermelon flesh, rind, characters, and plate—allow for successful coloring without frustration, building confidence. This fun take on the National Watermelon Day theme supports early counting skills in a visual way.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Wow, look! The watermelon is smiling at you! Let's color it in. The big part of the slice can be a yummy red or pink. What color is the outside part, the rind? That's right, it's green! You can make the bunny and the mouse any color you'd like. Maybe a brown bunny and a gray mouse? Don't forget to color in all the little black seeds in the smile!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on standard letter-sized paper (8.5" x 11") to give plenty of room for coloring. If you plan to use markers, a slightly heavier paper stock (like 24 lb) will give better results. A clear print will make the little seeds in the smile easy to see and color for your National Watermelon Day fun.

Recommended Tools

Colored pencils are great for coloring the smaller seeds, while chunky crayons are perfect for filling in the large red area of the watermelon. This offers a chance to practice with different tools. Always ensure tools are non-toxic and age-appropriate.
