Kenji Discovers a Secret Ninja Kid Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Thump... thump... thump... What was that noise outside his window? (Problem) A secret sound! A ninja must investigate! (Challenge) Kenji climbed onto his chair. He peeked through the blinds. Peek! It was dark. It was windy. He saw the big tree branches dancing. Sway... sway... And then he saw it. Thump... thump... Twist: It wasn’t a monster. It was just a little red ball that had gotten stuck in a branch, tapping against the window every time the wind blew! "Mystery solved," Kenji nodded wisely. Interactive Element: Let's make the sound of the wind. Ready? Whooooooooooosh!

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is excellent for ages 3-5 as it simplifies a complex scene into its most important elements. The 'peek-a-boo' style of Kenji is engaging and fun. The cause (ball in tree) and effect (tapping sound) are visually clear. The large, distinct shapes of the window, branch, and ball are perfect for developing coloring skills.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Look! Kenji is being a detective. He found the secret sound! Let's color in his discovery. What color is the ball stuck in the tree? It could be red like the story, or any color you choose! The tree branch can be brown, and you can make the sky outside the window a nice blue for daytime or a dark purple for night. You can even color the wall around the window!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on standard 8.5x11 inch paper. This page is a great conversation starter about weather, wind, and how things in nature can make surprising sounds. Discuss the story with your child as they color to enhance the educational value of this ninja kid activity.

Recommended Tools

Washable markers will make the ball and sky pop with vibrant color. Crayons are great for the large tree branch, allowing for some nice woody texture. This page is simple enough that even finger painting the large sky area could be a fun, sensory activity if you print on heavy cardstock.
