Pip Meets Pudding International Clown Week Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

The clowns were painting a giant mural for International Clown Week, but they ran out of red paint. "Oh, fiddlesticks!" said Professor Boffo. "How can we paint my big red nose now?"

Pip looked at his snack: a cup of strawberry pudding. His eyes lit up. "I have an idea!"

Soon, they weren't using paint at all. They used yellow banana pudding for the sun, blue blueberry pudding for the sky, and strawberry pudding for the big, happy nose. It was messy and sticky and wonderful! (Question: What does pudding feel like on your fingers? Squishy?)

The Twist: When the sun came out, it warmed the mural and made the whole town square smell like a delicious dessert! A flock of birds flew down and chirped a thank-you song.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The theme of painting with food is silly and delightful for 3-5 year olds, tapping into their love of messy play in a clean, creative way. The large, distinct areas—the sun, the clown's nose, the pudding pots—are ideal for developing coloring skills and color identification ('Let's color the banana pudding yellow!').

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

It's time to paint with pudding! Can you find the big clown face on the wall? Let's color his nose with a yummy strawberry red. The sun would look great with a bright banana yellow. You can color the splats on the floor any color you like! Let's make this the most delicious-looking painting ever for International Clown Week!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on a matte, slightly textured paper to mimic the feel of a mural wall. This can add a tactile element to the coloring experience. Ensure your printer settings are on 'black and white' to save ink and get the purest lines for your little artist to enjoy their International Clown Week activity.

Recommended Tools

Finger paints! If you're feeling adventurous, print on heavy cardstock and let your child use washable finger paints to color the pudding pots and splats. For a classic approach, thick crayons allow for rich color deposit in the large areas of the mural.
