Lulu the Ladybug's July Picnic Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Lulu the Ladybug loved July because it meant picnics! She saw a big, beautiful red-and-white checkered blanket spread on the grass. "Yum!" she said, and flew down.

She landed on a red square. It was warm and cozy. She crawled to a white square. It was cool and smooth. She walked and walked, but she couldn't find any food.

"This is a terrible picnic," she sighed, her tummy rumbling. Just then, a giant hand gently placed a huge, juicy slice of watermelon right next to her.

Twist: The picnic wasn't for her, but she was invited! A little boy saw her and said, "Hello, little ladybug! Would you like a tiny bite?" Lulu nibbled the sweet, red fruit. It was the best picnic ever because someone had shared it with her.

✨ Interactive Element: Let's pretend to nibble on a big slice of watermelon! Nom, nom, nom! Is it sweet?

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is excellent for ages 3-5. The geometric pattern of the blanket offers a simple, repetitive coloring task that builds focus. The ladybug and watermelon are large, simple objects. This outline-only page helps children practice staying within the lines and recognizing patterns, making a fun July picnic theme educational.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

It's a picnic! Let's get coloring. Here is a big slice of yummy watermelon. You can color the main part red or pink, and the outside rind a nice green. And look! It's little Lulu the Ladybug. Her spots are little circles you can color in. The blanket has lots of squares. You can make a pattern, like red, then white, then red again! Have fun at your coloring picnic!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print this page on thicker paper to prevent markers from bleeding, especially if your child wants to use bold colors for the blanket. A 'fit to page' setting will ensure the entire picnic scene is captured with clear, easy-to-see black outline strokes.

Recommended Tools

A set of primary-colored crayons is perfect for this. The waxiness of crayons helps younger children stay within the lines of the blanket's grid. Red and green markers would make the watermelon look extra vibrant and delicious for this July treat.
