Santa's Workshop Pip's Rainbow-Dot Racer Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Pip the elf was painting a little wooden car. It needed to be bright red. Brush, brush, brush. Suddenly, Pip got the hiccups! "Hic!" A dot of blue paint landed on the red car. "Oh no!" he squeaked. He tried to wipe it, but "Hic!"—a dot of yellow paint flew on. Then "Hic!"—a dot of green! The car was covered in funny dots.

Twist: Santa Claus saw the car. "Ho ho ho!" he laughed. "It's not a plain red car anymore, Pip. It's a Rainbow-Dot Racer! It’s the most cheerful car I’ve ever seen!" All the other elves cheered. From that day on, whenever an elf got the hiccups, they called it "painting with Rainbow-Dots."

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The Chibi style with its large, simple shapes and clear emotional expression is highly appealing to 3-5 year olds. The concept of a happy accident at Santa's workshop is simple to grasp, and the large dots on the car are perfect targets for developing motor skills without the frustration of tiny details.

Coloring Page Printing Tips
