Splashy summer Coloring Pages for Ages 3-4

Coloring page story

One hot summer afternoon, the sky rumbled a little. Pitter-patter-pitter-patter. Big, warm raindrops began to fall.

Daisy the Duckling wiggled her tail feathers with glee. She loved summer rain!

When the rain stopped, the sun peeked out again. And right in the middle of the garden, there was a brand new, shiny, wobbly puddle. It was a perfect mirror. Daisy looked in and saw a happy little duck looking back!

SPLISH! She jumped in with both her little webbed feet. SPLASH! She flapped her tiny wings. The water went everywhere, and Daisy quacked a happy, splashy song.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

Perfect for ages 3-4, this illustration uses round, friendly shapes that are appealing and non-intimidating. The main subjects—the duckling and the puddle—are large, simple outline forms, making it easy for little hands to color without frustration. This summer-themed page helps develop motor control in a fun, splashy context.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Look at this little duckling having so much fun! What color would you like to make Daisy? Maybe a bright yellow? And her puddle needs color too! You can make it a lovely blue. See the little splashes around her feet? You can color those too! The sun is peeking out; let's give it a warm, sunny color. Remember to have fun and try your best to stay inside the big, bold lines!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on standard 8.5x11 inch paper. For use with markers, a slightly heavier paper stock (like 24 lb) is a good choice to prevent bleed-through. Ensure your printer is set to 'black and white' mode to get the purest, most defined outlines for this summer coloring scene.

Recommended Tools

Washable broad-tip markers are excellent for this page, allowing children to fill the large puddle and duckling outlines with vibrant color easily. Large, triangular crayons can also help with grip development for this age group.
