Puddles the Duckling's summer Splash Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Sammy the Snail lived in a big green garden. One hot afternoon, he smelled something wonderful. It was sweet, red, and juicy. It was a strawberry!

The strawberry was on the other side of the garden path. For a little snail, that was a very long way. "I'm going on an adventure!" Sammy said.

He slid slowly over a bumpy twig. Wooosh. He crawled carefully under a giant green leaf. Shhh. He even said hello to a very busy ant who was carrying a crumb. Finally, he reached the big, red strawberry. He took a tiny, nibbly bite. It was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted. It was the best adventure ever.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design is perfect for 3-5 year olds. The concept of a tiny creature next to a giant object is visually engaging and easy to understand. The large, simple shape of the strawberry is a satisfying area to color, while the smaller snail provides a manageable challenge for developing fine motor skills. The summer garden theme is bright and cheerful.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Wow, look at that giant strawberry! It needs a beautiful, bright red color. You can use your green crayon for the leaves on top. What color will you make Sammy the Snail? His shell can be brown, or maybe a fun, swirly rainbow color! This is his special summer treat, so let's make it look extra yummy!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Use standard 8.5x11 inch paper for this print. Setting your printer to a 'borderless' option, if available, can make the strawberry feel even bigger and more immersive. A 'normal' quality black and white print will keep Sammy's happy expression perfectly clear for your little artist.

Recommended Tools

Thick-tipped markers are great for filling in the big strawberry with a solid, vibrant color. For Sammy's shell, colored pencils allow for more detailed work, like coloring the spiral in different shades. Always have a paper towel handy to blot any extra marker ink!
