Lily & Squirrel's Ice Cream Sharing Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Lily was walking home with a perfect scoop of chocolate ice cream. It was her absolute favorite. But she tripped on a little stone, and splat! Her lovely scoop fell right onto the grass.

A big tear rolled down Lily's cheek.

But then, a little squirrel with a twitchy nose scampered down a tree. He looked at the scoop on the grass. He looked at Lily. Then he took a tiny nibble. His eyes lit up! He chattered happily and ate the whole thing. Lily stopped crying and giggled. She had accidentally given the squirrel the best treat of his life. And when she got home, Daddy had a new bowl of ice cream waiting just for her.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design is ideal for 3-4 year olds. The large, simple shapes of the bear and the girl have minimal interior detail, making them easy for small hands to color. The bold, clear outline strokes help children practice staying within the lines, which develops fine motor control. The happy, simple ice cream theme is relatable and engaging for this age group.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Hello, little artist! Look at this friendly bear. Can you color inside his big, round body? Let's give the little girl a bright and happy dress. And what color will you make the yummy ice cream? You can make it blue like blueberries, or any color you love! Try to keep your beautiful colors inside the thick black lines. Have fun!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For the best coloring experience, print this page on medium-weight paper, like cardstock, which prevents crayons from tearing it and markers from bleeding through. Use your printer's 'high quality' or 'best' setting to ensure the black outline strokes are crisp and clear for easy coloring.

Recommended Tools

Chunky crayons are perfect for this age, as they are easy to grip and hard to break. Large, washable markers are also a great choice for vibrant colors. These tools work wonderfully on the large, open white areas of this outline-only design. Always make sure an adult is nearby when you're using your art supplies!
