Sleepy Sunflower Fun Coloring Pages for 3-5

Coloring page story

Sunny the Sunflower had a very important job. All day long, she had to watch the big, warm sun. When the sun woke up in the morning, Sunny would lift her heavy yellow head and say, "Good morning, Sun!"

She would follow the sun as it crawled across the blue sky. It was hard work! By the end of the day, when the sun went to bed, Sunny was very, very sleepy. She would droop her big head down, close her petally eyes, and whisper, "Good night, Sun." And she would sleep all night long, dreaming of sunshine.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The round shapes and lack of complex detail make this illustration ideal for the 3-5 age range. The large, distinct areas for the petals, flower center, stem, and sun are easy for young children to identify and color, supporting their developing motor control.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

It's sleepy time for Sunny the Sunflower! Can you help her get ready for bed? You could color her big petals a warm yellow or a soft orange. The sun is going to bed too, so maybe it's a gentle orange color. The sky behind them could be a pretty purple or a dark blue for nighttime. Sweet dreams, little colorer!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

To create a softer look, try printing on off-white or cream-colored paper. Ensure your printer is set to 'black and white' or 'grayscale' to save on color ink. This page is perfect for a full A4 or Letter size print to give lots of coloring room.

Recommended Tools

Colored pencils are wonderful for this design, allowing for soft shading on the sunset. However, large, chunky crayons are just as good for filling in the big shapes. Choose what your child enjoys using the most! Make sure all tools are non-toxic and age-appropriate.
