Kindness & Forgiveness cute lion Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Leo was making delicious-looking mud pies, decorated with flower petals and tiny twigs. They were his best ever. He was about to show his friends when STOMP, STOMP! a baby elephant named Ellie, who was busy chasing a butterfly, accidentally stomped right on them. SPLAT!

Leo’s perfect pies were gone. A big tear rolled down his fuzzy cheek. Ellie saw what she had done and her big ears drooped. "I'm sorry," she trumpeted sadly. She saw Leo's tear and had an idea. She filled her trunk with water from the stream.

Twist: Instead of trying to fix the pies, Ellie sprayed the water on the squashed mud, turning the whole area into a giant, splishy, splashy, wonderful mud puddle! Stomping in the mud together was way more fun than the pies ever were. Life Lesson: Accidents can be fixed with kindness, and sometimes they lead to even better fun. Interactive Element: Uh oh, a mess! Let’s pretend to stomp in a big mud puddle! Stomp, stomp, stomp! And SPLASH!
