Nighttime Helper Panda Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

As the sun went down, the fireflies came out to glow. Blink, blink, blink. But one little firefly was hiding under a mushroom, its light very dim. It was frightened of the dark shadows.

Pipo saw the scared little firefly. He sat down very still and began to hum a soft, rumbly panda song. Hummmm, rummmble, hummm.

Plot Twist: Pipo didn't catch the firefly. His gentle humming made the shadows feel less scary.

Hearing the calm sound, the little firefly felt brave. It flew out from under the mushroom, and its light grew bright and strong. BLINK! It blinked a thank you to Pipo and flew off to join its friends, making the forest beautiful.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is excellent for ages 3-5. The concept of a glowing light in the dark is magical and appealing. The large, simple shapes of the panda, moon, and firefly's glow are easy for little hands to manage, and the calm, reassuring scene is perfect for a relaxing coloring session.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

It's nighttime in the forest! Let's make the little firefly glow. You can use your brightest yellow or a sparkly gold crayon for the firefly and its big, glowing light. The moon can be a soft yellow too. You could color the sky a dark blue or purple, and Pipo will stand out beautifully. Maybe the mushroom can have fun spots!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Printing this on slightly darker paper, like a light blue or grey construction paper, can create a wonderful nighttime effect for your Panda scene. Make sure your printer can handle the paper type. Otherwise, bright white paper will make the dark sky colors pop.

Recommended Tools

A yellow highlighter or a glitter gel pen would be extra fun for the firefly's glow! Crayons work beautifully for the night sky, allowing kids to press hard for a dark color. White chalk or a white colored pencil can be used to add more stars to the dark sky after it's colored in.
