Puddle Dance A Rainy autumn Adventure Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Lily pulled on her big yellow boots. Thump, thump. She put on her red raincoat. Swish, swish. The autumn rain was tapping on the window. Plink, plonk, plink. "Mummy, can we do a puddle dance?" she asked. Outside, the world was wet and shiny. Lily found a perfect, shallow puddle. She took a little step. Splash! She took a bigger jump. SPLASH! Soon she was splashing and laughing, dancing a happy, splishy-splashy puddle dance until it was time to go inside for warm milk.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The 'Expressive Cartoon' style, with its clear depiction of emotion, helps 3-4 year olds understand and connect with the feeling of joy in the story. The large, simple shapes of the raincoat, boots, and puddle are perfect for developing motor skills. The dynamic action of splashing is exciting and captures the energy of a child, making it a very engaging autumn-themed coloring activity.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Wow, look at her jump! SPLASH! She is having so much fun in the autumn rain. Let's give her a brightly colored raincoat. What's your favorite color? Maybe yellow or red? You can color her boots, too! Use your crayons to make big splashes of color in the puddle. Take your time and fill in all the white spots. You are doing an amazing job!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

To prevent colors from smudging, especially if using markers, print on a smooth, slightly heavy paper like 24 lb or 28 lb bond. This will ensure the black outlines stay sharp and the colors look vibrant, capturing the shiny, wet feel of a rainy autumn day.

Recommended Tools

Washable markers are perfect for achieving the bright, solid colors of a raincoat and boots. For the puddle, kids can have fun swirling blue and gray crayons together to create a 'watery' effect within the outline. This encourages creativity with their tools.
