Magic Growing Ice Cream Truck Coloring Pages for Kids

Coloring page story

Lily heard the familiar jingle, La-la-lee-la!, and ran outside. The ice cream truck was painted with pictures of tiny seeds and big, tall trees.

The driver gave her a tiny cone with a tiny scoop of Strawberry Sprout ice cream. "Just one bite?" Lily thought, a little sad.

But when she took her first lick, the scoop grew a little bigger! Poof! She took another lick, and it grew bigger again! Poof! She licked and licked until the tiny scoop was a big, perfect scoop of delicious strawberry ice cream.

It was a magic growing treat!

✨ Unexpected Twist: The ice cream grows instead of shrinks. ✨ Interactive Element: Let’s pretend to lick our magic ice cream. After each lick, show me with your hands how it gets bigger… and bigger… and BIGGER!

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design is perfect for 3-5 year olds. The large, simple circular outlines of the floating scoops are very easy to color, providing a high rate of success and boosting confidence. The fun, imaginative theme of a space ice cream truck appeals to their sense of wonder. The clear, thick line strokes provide excellent guidance for developing hands.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

This ice cream truck is in outer space! Look at all the ice cream scoops floating like bubbles. Let's color each floating scoop a different planet color. What color is an Orange Orbit scoop? You can make Tom's space suit a cool silver or blue. Don't forget the stars in the background! Have fun filling all the empty white spaces with your bright colors.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

To make the floating scoops really 'pop', print this page on glossy photo paper if using markers, or heavy cardstock for crayons. Ensure the printer settings are on 'high quality' to get a crisp black outline. This will make the final colored ice cream truck artwork look amazing.

Recommended Tools

Broad-tip markers are great for the large dome and truck body. For the floating scoops, crayons allow for fun blending of colors. You could even use glitter glue (with supervision!) on the star outlines to make them sparkle. Exploring different tools makes this ice cream truck activity a multi-sensory experience.
