Rainbow Magic Turtle Coloring Pages for 3-5

Coloring page story

After a soft morning shower, the sun peeked out from behind a cloud. And there, stretched across the entire sky, was something Toby the turtle had never seen before.

It was a bridge of colours!

There was a stripe of bright red, like a berry. There was a stripe of warm orange, like a flower. There was a stripe of happy yellow, like the sun. There was green, blue, and a beautiful purple, too!

"Wow," Toby whispered. He wanted to walk on it, but it was too high in the sky. So he just sat, his head stretched out as far as it could go, and looked. He watched until the colours slowly faded away. Toby smiled. He didn't need to walk on the rainbow bridge. Just seeing it had filled his whole day with magic.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is fantastic for the 3-5 age group as it directly supports color recognition. The large, separate bands of the rainbow are perfect for practicing coloring within lines. The simple form of the upward-looking turtle is easy to color and clearly communicates the story's emotion of wonder. It's a simple yet highly engaging and educational concept.
