Skye the Sunflower's Tall July Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

In a field of flowers, one sunflower named Skye was the tallest of all. The little daisies below whispered, "How did you get so tall, Skye?"

"Do you eat special food?" asked a poppy. "Do you do stretching exercises?" asked a tulip.

Skye just smiled her big, yellow smile. That night, when everyone was asleep, Skye told her secret to a little moonbeam. "Every morning," she whispered, "I don't just look at the sun. I pretend I am giving the sun a big, giant hug all day long."

Twist: Her secret wasn't food or exercise. Her secret was love! By trying to hug the sun, she was always reaching, reaching, reaching for it. And that's what helped her grow so tall and strong.

✨ Interactive Element: Can you stand on your tippy-toes and reach up high, high, high to give the sun a hug?

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The large, distinct petals of the sunflower provide excellent practice for staying within the lines for ages 3-5. The repetitive action of coloring each petal is satisfying and helps build focus. The uplifting and simple theme of growing towards the sun on a July day is both educational and emotionally positive for young children.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Wow, look at this tall sunflower! Her name is Skye. She loves the sun. You can color her big petals with a happy yellow, and her center a warm brown. Her long stem and leaves can be green. And don't forget the bright, smiling sun in the sky! You can make the sun's rays shine all over the page. Let's make this the sunniest picture ever!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For this sunny theme, printing on slightly yellow or cream-colored paper can add an instant warm tone. Ensure your printer's 'high quality' setting is on to make the black outline strokes stand out boldly against the paper, creating a beautiful contrast.

Recommended Tools

A variety of yellow and orange crayons and markers would be perfect. Let the child experiment with different shades for each petal. Using a glitter glue pen (with supervision) on the sun's rays or the flower's center after coloring can add a magical, sparkly July touch.
