Grumpy Cloud & Happy Lilies Coloring Pages for Kids

Coloring page story

The lilies in the pond were feeling hot and droopy. "We need rain," they all sighed. They looked up and saw one big, grey cloud in the sky. But it just sat there, looking grumpy. "Mr. Cloud, please give us some rain!" they called. The cloud just grumbled.

A brave little sparrow flew up to the cloud. "Why are you so grumpy, Mr. Cloud?" he chirped. The cloud rumbled, "I'm not grumpy... I'm just... full!" (Unexpected Twist) "I have so much rain inside me, I feel like I'm going to pop! I just need someone to tell me it's okay to cry." The sparrow chirped, "It's okay, Mr. Cloud! The lilies need you!" The cloud smiled a wobbly smile and let all its rain fall down. Pitter-patter, pitter-patter. The lilies drank it all up and were happy again.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The story and illustration are perfect for teaching 3-5 year olds about emotions in a safe, metaphorical way. The expressive faces on the cloud and lilies are easy to interpret. The large, simple shapes (cloud, flowers, raindrops) are ideal for developing fine motor skills without being overwhelming.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

This cloud was grumpy, but now it's happy to help the flowers! What color is a happy rain cloud? Maybe a nice light gray or even a soft blue. And look at all the rain falling down! You can color each raindrop blue. The lilies are so happy for their drink. Let's give them beautiful, bright colors like yellow, pink, and purple!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Use a good quality print setting to make sure the outlines of the raindrops are clear and don't blur together. Standard paper is fine for this heartwarming scene.
