Summer Fun Barnaby Bear's Ice Cream Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Barnaby Bear had a big, round, pink strawberry ice cream cone. "Yum!" he said, sitting on a warm, grassy hill.

The sun, like a giant yellow buttercup in the sky, smiled down. It was a very warm smile.

Drip, drop. A little pink tear rolled down the side of Barnaby's cone.

"Oh, no!" he cried. Drip, drop, drip. More pink tears dripped onto his furry paw.

Barnaby knew just what to do. He didn't wait a moment longer. Lick, slurp, lick! He licked up the drips. He licked the round pink ball. He licked all the way down to the crunchy cone. Soon, the ice cream was all gone, safe and sound in his tummy. It was the best, fastest ice cream he had ever eaten.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is ideal for children aged 3-4. The use of large, simple shapes like the round bear and the big ice cream scoop outline provides ample space for coloring, which suits their developing motor skills. The theme of a bear eating ice cream is relatable and enjoyable for this age group, making this summer coloring activity highly engaging. The thick, clear outlines help them practice staying within the lines.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For the best coloring experience, print this line art page on medium-weight cardstock or thick paper. This prevents markers from bleeding through and stands up to enthusiastic crayon coloring. Use your printer's standard or 'normal' quality setting to ensure the black outlines are crisp and clear, making this summer scene easy for your child to see and color.

Recommended Tools

Chunky crayons are perfect for this age group, as they are easy to grip and great for filling large outlined areas. Washable markers are also a fantastic choice for vibrant colors. Both tools work beautifully on the simple, bold outlines of this coloring page and make this summer activity mess-free and fun.
