Nature Discovery fall Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Lily the bear cub loved fall, but she had a big question. "Mama," she asked, "why does the wind go woooooosh?" Mama Bear smiled. "Let's find out." They walked to the big oak tree. "The wind is saying hello to the leaves," Mama said. They walked to a hollow log. Whooooo! The wind whistled through the hole. "It's playing a song for the sleeping beetles," she said. Lily thought the wind was just noisy. (Unexpected Twist) But as they cuddled in their den, a gentle whistle-whoosh came through the entrance. "Ah," said Mama Bear. "Now the wind is singing you a lullaby for your long winter's nap."

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The theme of parental comfort and a safe, cozy den is very reassuring for children aged 3-5. The large, simple shapes of the bears are easy to color, and the clear distinction between 'inside' and 'outside' the den provides a simple but engaging composition.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Let's get cozy with the bears! Can you color Mama Bear and little Lily? They are getting ready for their long winter nap. What color will you make their fur? You can also color the leaves blowing in the fall wind outside their den. Maybe you can use soft, sleepy colors to help them get ready for bed.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

To create a cozy atmosphere, try printing this on cream or off-white paper instead of stark white. It will give the final artwork a warmer feel. Ensure the printer is set to a standard 'letter' size to capture all the details of the den and the fall leaves.

Recommended Tools

Soft pastels or chalk could be a fun, smudgy tool to create a soft fur effect on the bears. For less mess, chunky crayons are always a fantastic and safe choice for young children. Supervise use of chalk or pastels.
