Story Time Adventure Kindergarten Coloring Pages

Activity July 28, 2025

Every child's idea is valuable! Our 'Story That Needed an Ending' coloring page empowers children, showing them that their voice matters. This is a core value taught in every good kindergarten program. This scene from our new coloring book celebrates quiet courage and the power of imagination. As children color Ben's wonderful idea, they are reminded that they, too, have amazing ideas to share. This coloring page is an excellent tool for teachers to encourage participation during circle time and for parents to build their child's self-esteem at home.

Coloring page story

During story time, Ms. Ellie was reading a book about a puppy who climbed a tree. She read, "The little puppy climbed up, up, up... and then..." She closed the book. "The last page is missing! How does the puppy get down?" she asked the class. Everyone was quiet. They didn't know. A boy named Ben, who rarely spoke, loved puppies. He thought and thought. He raised his hand just a little bit. "Yes, Ben?" said Ms. Ellie. In a small voice, Ben said, "...a big, friendly bird comes and gives him a ride down." The whole class gasped. "What a wonderful idea!" said Ms. Ellie. Ben felt a happy feeling fizz inside him, like bubbles. His idea had finished the story for everyone.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The use of a thought bubble is a simple, effective way to show an abstract concept like 'an idea' to a 3-5 year old. The separation of Ben from his idea makes the page easy to understand and color in sections. The theme of valuing one's own imagination is a wonderful confidence-booster for kindergarteners.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Ben had a wonderful idea to help the puppy! It's right there in his thought bubble. You can bring his idea to life with your colors. What color is the big, friendly bird? And the cute little puppy? You can give Ben a proud, blue shirt for being so brave and creative!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on high-quality settings to ensure the lines of the puppy and bird inside the thought bubble are clear and easy to color. This page can be a great conversation starter about what ideas your child has for finishing stories.

Recommended Tools

Colored pencils are ideal for the smaller details inside the thought bubble. Use chunky crayons for Ben and the floor rug. This mix of tools helps children practice using different grips and pressures, a great kindergarten skill.
