Coloring page story

Grandma was visiting. "When your mommy was a baby," she told Kai, "I gave her my milk. It's like a warm, gentle river that flows from a mommy to her baby."

Kai imagined a little river flowing with cozy milk. "Does the river have fish?" he asked.

Grandma laughed. "No fish! But it has tiny, invisible boats that carry everything a baby needs to grow. Boats full of sleepy-dust, and growing-strong-bricks, and happy-giggles."

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design turns an abstract concept (nourishment) into a fun, visual fantasy that appeals to the magical thinking of 3-5 year olds. The distinct, symbolic boats are easy to identify and offer clear, separate areas for coloring, which supports visual discrimination skills.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Let's go on a river adventure! This is a magic river full of everything a baby needs. What color is a sleepy-dust moon? Maybe a silvery gray or a soft blue. You can make the growing-strong bricks all different colors! And let's make the happy-giggles sun super bright and yellow. The river doesn't have to be blue—it could be a rainbow river!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For this imaginative scene, printing on slightly thicker paper can make the coloring feel more special. Ensure your printer settings are on 'fit to page' to capture the entire beautiful river. A good print will make the magical elements of this National Breastfeeding Month story shine.

Recommended Tools

This page is perfect for a variety of tools. Use crayons for the river, markers for the bold symbols on the sails, and colored pencils for the little flowers on the bank. Mixing tools is a great way to explore creativity and texture.
