Quiet Friendship & Building Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Planet Whisper was known for its cute little creatures: the Moon-Mites. They were fluffy, had big eyes, and squeaked like a tiny toy. The dino-nauts were so excited to meet them.

But when they landed, all the Moon-Mites ran and hid behind the silver-leafed trees. Scurry, scurry, hide!

“Come out and play!” boomed Rex, taking a big step forward. The Moon-Mites only hid more. “I’ll show them how fast I am!” zipped Velo, running towards the trees. A few fluffy tails disappeared even faster.

Tripsy watched, her heart feeling for the little creatures. They were scared, just like she sometimes was when things were too loud or too fast.

While the others tried to coax the Mites out, Tripsy sat down quietly on the soft, mossy ground. She didn’t say anything. She just started to build a little tower out of smooth, grey pebbles she found. Click, stack, click.

A little Moon-Mite peeked out from behind a tree. It saw the quiet Triceratops who wasn’t shouting or running. It crept a little closer. Tripsy didn’t look up. She just gently pushed a pretty, shiny pebble towards it.

The Moon-Mite scurried forward, snatched the pebble with a happy squeak!, and scurried back. Then two Mites peeked out. Then three. Soon, a whole circle of fluffy Moon-Mites was sitting around Tripsy, quietly watching her build. Tripsy had shown them that she was a gentle friend, and sometimes the quietest way is the best way to say hello.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The quiet, gentle theme is very suitable for this age group, offering a calming activity. The characters' actions are simple and their emotions clear. The round, fluffy shapes of the Moon-Mites and the simple pebble tower are perfect for little hands to color in.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

This is such a sweet, quiet picture. Tripsy is making friends with the shy Moon-Mites. You can color Tripsy in her favorite gentle color. What color will the fluffy little Moon-Mites be? You can make each one different! The pebbles in her tower can be all sorts of colors, too. Let's make this a very peaceful and happy picture.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

This is a wonderful 'quiet time' activity. Print on standard paper. You can play some soft, calm music while your child colors to enhance the peaceful mood of the scene. It's a great opportunity to talk about how different people (and Moon-Mites!) like to make friends in different ways.

Recommended Tools

Colored pencils are an excellent choice for this page, as they encourage a lighter, more controlled touch that matches the scene's gentle mood. They are perfect for the smaller Moon-Mites and the pebbles. Twistable crayons are also a great, no-mess option.
