Milo's Spring Seed & Flower Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Milo the Mouse found a tiny, hard, brown thing on the ground. "What's this?" he squeaked. An old, wise beetle told him, "That, little one, is a mystery seed. Plant it and see.

So, Milo dug a tiny hole with his paws. He tucked the seed in and covered it with a soft, dark earth. Every day, the spring sun warmed it, and the spring rain gave it a drink. Milo waited and watched.

One day, a little green sprout poked its head out! "Hello!" squeaked Milo. The sprout grew taller and taller, until it was much taller than Milo. Then, a big, bright yellow flower opened its face to the sun. It was a sunflower! It wasn't a mystery anymore; it was a happy, sunny friend.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The Chibi style with its exaggerated cute features (big head, big eyes) is highly appealing to children 3-5. The clear separation between the large flower and the small mouse makes the composition easy to understand and color without getting overwhelmed.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Wow, look how tall the flower grew! Milo is so surprised. Let's give the giant sunflower a big, bright yellow color for its petals and a brown for its center. What color is Milo the mouse? You can make him grey, or brown, or any color you like! The long stem and big leaves would look wonderful in green.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

To capture the grand scale of the sunflower, print this page in 'portrait' orientation. Use standard A4 or Letter paper. A clean black and white print will ensure Milo's cute expression and the flower's bold petals are ready for your child's crayons.

Recommended Tools

Colored pencils are great for this page, allowing for more precision on the smaller mouse character while also being able to cover the large petals of the sunflower. Crayons are also a wonderful choice for their texture and ease of use for little hands.
