Poppy's Lost Button Bunny Coloring Pages for Ages 3-5

Coloring page story

Poppy the bunny had a little blue coat with three shiny buttons. They weren't just any buttons; they were made from bright yellow dandelions pressed flat. One morning, she hopped out to play, and plink!—one of her buttons popped off and disappeared.

"Oh no!" she cried. She looked under a fern. She looked behind a pebble. No button.

Just then, a busy little beetle scurried by. "What's wrong, Poppy?" he chirped. "I've lost my dandelion button!" she sniffled. The beetle crawled onto a mushroom for a better look. "Is that it, sparkling over there?" he pointed with his antenna.

And there it was! Tucked inside a buttercup, shining like a tiny sun. Poppy carefully picked it up and gave the beetle a thank you nose-twitch.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

To make the details clear for your little detective, print this bunny page using a 'high quality' or 'best' setting on your printer. Heavier paper like cardstock will feel more like a page from a real storybook and hold up well to enthusiastic coloring.

Recommended Tools

Colored pencils are great for coloring in the smaller details like the beetle and the button outline. For the larger areas like Poppy's coat and the mushroom, thick crayons are wonderful. This allows your child to practice using different tools for different-sized spaces, all within the safe, clear outlines of the drawing.
