Sammy's Adventure Summer Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

As the sun went to bed, the garden grew dark. Lily put on her pyjamas and looked out the window. Suddenly, she saw a tiny light blink on in the bushes. Blink. Then another. Blink, blink.

"What are those?" she whispered to her daddy.

"Those are fireflies, my love," he said. "Or as I like to call them, little summer stars."

Lily thought they looked more like floating giggles. She called them "giggle-lights." She and her daddy went outside with a soft blanket. They lay on the grass and watched the giggle-lights dance in the air, blinking on and off, up and down, making the whole garden feel magical and safe.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This scene is wonderfully suited for ages 3-5 due to its simple composition and emotionally safe theme. The large shapes of the blanket and grass are easy to color, and the fireflies can be colored as simple dots, which is a satisfying action for young children. The cozy summer night theme is calming and imaginative.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Let's make this summer night sparkle! You can use your brightest yellow or a sparkly glitter crayon for the fireflies to make them glow. What color are Lily's pyjamas? You can give them fun stripes or polka dots! The grass and the blanket can be any cozy colors you like. Maybe the sky is a deep, dark blue or a purple.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For this nighttime scene, printing on light blue or grey paper can create a beautiful starting point for the evening sky. Set your printer to 'best' quality to ensure the little firefly outlines are crisp and ready to be filled with bright color, enhancing this special summer memory.

Recommended Tools

Glitter crayons or glitter glue pens would be extra magical for coloring the fireflies! For the large areas of sky and grass, using the side of a crayon can help cover the space quickly and create a soft texture. Always have a grown-up help with glitter glue!
