Lily and Leo's Snowflake Wish Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Beginning: Rabbit siblings Lily and Leo pressed their noses against the cold window of their burrow. It was Christmas Eve, but something was missing. "There's no snow," sighed Lily. The ground was just brown and drab. "How can Santa land his sleigh without a soft blanket of snow?" worried Leo. They both wished for snow more than any toy or treat.

Middle: Their grandpa saw their sad little faces. "Come here, little ones," he said, his voice crinkling like old paper. "Let's make a snowflake wish." He taught them a little song: "Whisper a wish on the quiet air, For a world of white, beyond compare. First one flake, then two, then three, Christmas snow for you and me." They sang it together, their voices small in the big, quiet night. Then, they went to bed, still hoping.

Ending: In the middle of the night, Lily woke up. Something was different. The world outside their window wasn't dark anymore; it was glowing with a soft, white light. She nudged Leo. "Wake up!" she whispered. They peered outside. A single, perfect snowflake drifted down, then another, then hundreds! Whoosh! The world was turning white. They had forgotten all about presents. They pulled on their boots and were the first to make footprints in the fresh snow, their hearts full of joy. They learned that the best Christmas magic is the kind you can share with the whole world, as quiet and beautiful as the first winter snow.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design is ideal for ages 3-5. The framing of the window simplifies the composition, focusing the child's attention. The rabbit characters are cute and their expressions are clear. The large, distinct snowflake shapes are perfect for practicing coloring within lines and can be decorated in many different ways.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Look! Lily and Leo's wish came true! It's snowing! What color are our happy bunnies? Gray, brown, or maybe a fun color like pink? You can color the window frame a nice woody brown. Outside, the big, beautiful snowflakes are falling. Snowflakes are white, but you can make them magical by coloring them light blue, sparkly silver, or even all the colors of the rainbow! Let's make it a beautiful snowy day.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For a special effect, print this page on light blue construction paper. This way, your child can color the snowflakes with a white crayon or white paint, and they will show up beautifully against the blue 'sky'. Standard paper works great too! Make sure the 'fit to page' option is selected on your printer.

Recommended Tools

White crayons on dark paper can be magical for this page! Otherwise, glitter glue pens (with adult supervision) are perfect for making the snowflakes sparkle. For the bunnies, soft colored pencils or regular crayons will give them a lovely, furry look.
