Mia's Sandcastle Secret Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Mia went to the beach with her blue pail and yellow shovel. The July sun made the sand warm under her toes. She decided to build the best sandcastle ever.

She patted the wet sand into tall towers. She dug a moat all around it. It was a wonderful castle, but it needed something special.

She walked along the water's edge, where the little waves fizzed. Shhh, shhh. There, she saw it! A perfect, swirly shell, shimmering like a tiny rainbow. She picked it up and placed it right on top of the tallest tower. It was the castle's secret treasure. And even when the tide came to wash the castle away, Mia knew the secret of the beautiful shell.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The theme of playing at the beach is highly relatable for young children. The large, blocky shape of the sandcastle and the simple forms of the pail, shovel, and shell are easy for small hands to identify and color.
