Lavender Bear's Sleepy Field Coloring Pages for Ages 3-5

Coloring page story

Barnaby the bear was not sleepy. Winter was coming, but his eyes were wide open! Wiggle, wiggle, he went. Jiggle, jiggle, he went. He couldn't get cozy. He padded sadly out of his cave and followed a soft, sweet smell. Sniff, sniff. The smell led him to a field of tiny purple flowers. "Hello," buzzed a sleepy bee. "This is the lavender field. It helps us all feel calm." Barnaby lay down amongst the soft flowers. It wasn't just the smell that made him sleepy; it was the gentle bzzzzzzz of all the happy bees, like a soft lullaby.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design is ideal for ages 3-5. It features large, simple shapes with very thick outlines, which helps children stay within the lines. The subject matter—a cute, sleepy animal—is appealing and non-threatening. The Lavender theme introduces a concept of nature and calmness that is easy for young children to grasp.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For best results, print on sturdy paper like cardstock, which can handle enthusiastic coloring with crayons or markers.

Printing this page well will make coloring the details on the Lavender flowers a fun experience for your child.

Recommended Tools

Chubby crayons are perfect for little hands to grip. Washable markers are also a great choice as they provide vibrant color and are easy to clean up. Colored pencils can be used for children who are developing a finer grip. Always supervise use to ensure tools are used safely.
