Pip's First Spring Song & Music Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Pip was a baby robin who had just hatched in the coziest nest. All around him, he could hear the sounds of spring. He heard the rustle, rustle of the new leaves on his tree. He heard the buzz, buzz of a big, fuzzy bumblebee. He heard the drip, drop of the morning dew.

His mama said, "It's time for you to sing your song, little Pip." Pip opened his beak, but what should he sing?

He thought about all the sounds he loved. He started with a little "drip-drop," added a happy "rustle-buzz," and ended with a loud, cheerful "Tweet!" It was his very own song, made of all the best bits of spring. And his mama thought it was the most beautiful song she had ever heard.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The use of universal symbols like musical notes helps children 3-5 grasp the abstract concept of 'song'. The loving interaction between mother and baby is a comforting theme. The contained scene, focusing just on the nest, prevents it from being overwhelming and allows the child to focus on the characters and their actions.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Listen! Pip is singing his very first song. Let's help him make it a colorful one! You can color Pip and his mama with a nice brown or reddish color. The cozy nest would look wonderful in shades of brown and yellow. And what colors will the music notes be? You can make each one a different, happy color to show how beautiful his spring song is!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print this on standard paper in a high-contrast black and white mode. The bold lines of the nest and the birds will stand out, making it an easy and satisfying page for a young child to color. It’s a lovely way to talk about the sounds we hear in spring.

Recommended Tools

A variety of tools would work well here. Chunky crayons for the nest and birds, and finer-tipped markers for the musical notes to make them pop. This allows for practice with different grips and tools on a single page.
