Lily & Benny's Friendship Heart Coloring Pages for Ages 3-5

Coloring page story

Lily the Lamb felt a wobble in her chest. Not a happy thump-thump, but a sad, slow wobble-wobble. She sat under a big, green tree, and a tear rolled down her fluffy cheek.

Benny the Bunny hopped by. "What's wrong, Lily? Why is your heart wobbly?"

"I lost my favorite yellow flower," she sniffled.

Benny didn't say anything. He just sat close to Lily. He wiggled his nose and gave her a very soft, warm hug. The hug felt like a cozy blanket.

Slowly, Lily’s heart stopped wobbling. It started to feel a little warmer. Then, a tiny bit stronger. thump... thump... thump.

Unexpected Twist: Suddenly, Benny wiggled his long ears. Tucked right behind his ear was a little yellow flower! "I found it this morning!" he cheered. "I was keeping it safe for you!" Lily’s heart did a happy leap, and she gave Benny the biggest hug ever.

✨ Interactive Element: Can you give someone you love a big, warm hug, just like Benny gave Lily?

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design uses large, rounded shapes and minimal background detail, which is ideal for the developing motor skills of 3-5 year olds. The theme of friendship and comforting a sad friend is a core social-emotional concept for this age, making the story's heart-focused message relatable and easy to grasp.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Hello, artist! Look at these two good friends. Can you give Lily the Lamb a soft, woolly color? Maybe white or light grey! And what color will you make Benny the Bunny? Don't forget the special yellow flower he saved! You can make the big tree have a brown trunk and big green leaves. The big hug shows their happy heart, so let's use happy colors!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For best results, print on medium-weight paper or cardstock to prevent markers from bleeding through. Use your printer's standard or 'normal' quality setting for crisp, clear lines that are easy to color inside. A well-printed page makes this heart-warming activity even more special.

Recommended Tools

Large, chunky crayons are perfect for little hands to grip. Washable markers are also a great choice for vibrant colors. Encourage your child to try staying in the lines, but remember that the most important part is expressing the happy feeling of a mended heart through their art.
