Ice Cream Bear's Big Adventure Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Barnaby the Bear woke up from his nap with a rumble in his tummy. He didn't want honey. He didn't want berries. He wanted his favorite treat! He pattered out of his cave, wiggled his nose in the air, and sniffed. "I smell something cold and sweet!" he huffed.

He followed the smell down a sunny path until he found a little girl with a bright blue cone. "That's it!" he thought. "Blueberry bliss!"

The little girl saw the big, friendly bear. She wasn't scared. She held out her cone. "Would you like a lick, Barnaby?" she asked. Barnaby took one tiny, gentle lick. Slurp. His eyes went wide. It was even better than he remembered! He wiggled his happy bear bottom all the way back to his cave, dreaming of blueberry bliss.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is ideal for 3-4 year olds. The large, simple shapes of the bear and the girl have minimal interior detail, making them easy for small hands to color. The bold, clear outline strokes help children practice staying within the lines, which develops fine motor control. The happy, simple ice cream theme is relatable and engaging for this age group.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Hello, little artist! Look at this friendly bear. Can you color inside his big, round body? Let's give the little girl a bright and happy dress. And what color will you make the yummy ice cream? You can make it blue like blueberries, or any color you love! Try to keep your beautiful colors inside the thick black lines. Have fun!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For the best coloring experience, print this page on medium-weight paper, like cardstock, which prevents crayons from tearing it and markers from bleeding through. Use your printer's 'high quality' or 'best' setting to ensure the black outline strokes are crisp and clear for easy coloring.

Recommended Tools

Chunky crayons are perfect for this age, as they are easy to grip and hard to break. Large, washable markers are also a great choice for vibrant colors. These tools work wonderfully on the large, open white areas of this outline-only design. Always make sure an adult is nearby when you're using your art supplies!
