Leo's Mended Star Adventure Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Leo’s hands trembled. In his palm lay two pieces of what used to be his sister Mia’s favorite ornament—a clay star she’d painted with shimmering gold. It had slipped right through his fingers. CRUNCH. “Oh no,” he whispered, his heart thumping like a scared rabbit’s. Mia would be so sad.

He hid the pieces in his pocket, a heavy, guilty secret. All afternoon, he couldn’t look Mia in the eye. When she asked, “Want to build a snow fort, Leo?” he just mumbled, “No, thanks,” and stared at the floor.

Later, tucked in the branches of the big Christmas tree, he saw a small, silver bell he’d never noticed before. It had a tiny tag that read, “For mending what is broken.” Hope fluttered in his chest. He carefully took the bell. It felt cool and smooth.

He went to his room, laid the broken pieces of the star on his desk, and gave the bell a tiny shake. TINKLE! A soft, silvery light shimmered from the bell and danced over the star. But… nothing happened. The star was still in two pieces. Leo’s shoulders slumped. Magic wasn’t real after all.

Just then, Mia came in. “What’s wrong, Leo? You’ve been quiet all day.” Tears pricked Leo’s eyes. He couldn’t hide it anymore. He pointed at the broken star. “I’m so, so sorry, Mia.”

Mia looked at the star, and for a moment, her lip wobbled. But then she saw the tear roll down Leo’s cheek. She picked up the two pieces. “It’s okay,” she said softly. “We can fix it. I have some super-strong glue.”

As they sat together, carefully dabbing glue along the broken edge, Leo felt the guilt in his pocket melt away. When they pressed the pieces together, a faint, silvery light seemed to glow along the crack. They held it tight until it was whole again.

Mia hung the mended star back on the tree. “Look,” she said, “it has a gold line right down the middle now. It looks even more special.”

Leo looked at the little silver bell, still on the desk. He realized the bell’s magic wasn’t about fixing things for you. Its magic was giving him the courage to tell the truth, so they could mend the star—and their feelings—together.
