Princess Penelope's Puddle Palace Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Princess Penelope did not like her shiny, slippery ballroom floors. She loved the squishy, squashy, muddy ground after it rained.

One morning, after a long night of pitter-patter on the castle roof, Penelope pulled on her brightest yellow boots. Swish, sploosh, splash! She danced in the biggest puddle in the royal garden. She pretended the puddle was her palace and the wiggling worms were her royal dancers.

The King and Queen watched from a window. "Oh dear," said the Queen. "That's not very princess-like."

But just then, the royal carriage got stuck in the mud. The wheels spun and spun. Penelope looked at the mud and the wheels. "I know this mud!" she declared. She showed the guards exactly where to push to get the carriage free.

That day, everyone agreed that Princess Penelope, the princess of puddles, was the most helpful princess of all.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is ideal for ages 3-5. The use of round, soft shapes and thick, clear outline strokes makes it easy for little hands to color within the lines. The large, uncluttered sections reduce frustration and help develop fine motor control and hand-eye coordination. The simple, joyful princess theme is highly relatable and engaging for this age group.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For best results, print this line art page on medium-weight paper or cardstock to prevent markers from bleeding through. Use your printer's 'High Quality' or 'Best' setting to ensure the black outline strokes are crisp and clear. A well-printed page gives your little princess a perfect canvas to create her masterpiece.
