Playful Barefoot Race Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Chloe took off her sandals. The July grass was soft and a little bit tickly on the bottoms of her feet. She saw a beautiful blue butterfly flutter past, dancing in the air.

"I'll race you!" she giggled.

The butterfly fluttered over a dandelion. Chloe ran over the dandelion. The butterfly swooped by the garden hose. Chloe hopped over the garden hose. The butterfly landed for a moment on a pink rose. Chloe stopped to smell the rose, too.

She never caught the butterfly, but she didn't mind. The race was the best part, feeling the warm earth under her feet on a perfect July afternoon.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The simple, clear narrative of a chase is easy for young children to understand. The large figures of the girl and butterfly, along with distinct background elements (flowers, hose), provide a good mix of coloring areas.

Ready, set, go! Chloe is having a fun race with a beautiful butterfly. Can you color her running through the soft, green grass? The butterfly can be any color you can imagine! Maybe you can make its wings a rainbow. Don't forget to color the pretty flowers and the wiggly garden hose.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

This is a perfect, standard coloring page. Print on regular paper with normal settings. It's a great page to talk about nature while coloring—ask your child what colors they see in your own garden or at the park.
