Teddy Bear's Birthday Coloring Pages for Toddlers

Coloring page story

It was Bartholomew the Teddy Bear's birthday, but his little girl, Mia, had a cold and couldn't have a party. Bartholomew sat on the bed, his button eyes looking sad. Then, he heard a squeak. The little mouse from the wall pushed out a crumb of cheese. Squeak-squeak! (Happy Birthday!). Then, the cat slinked in and rubbed against his leg, purring the deepest, rumbliest purr. Finally, Mia, wrapped in a blanket, gave him the biggest, snuggliest hug. "Happy Birthday, Bartholomew," she whispered. Bartholomew realized a party doesn't need cake or games—just a few good friends and a warm, cozy hug.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The warm, narrative style is comforting and engaging for 3-5 year olds. The teddy bear is a large, central figure that's easy to color. The cat and mouse are simple and distinct. The clear outlines and lack of a complex background help children focus on the friendly characters and their interaction.

Recommended Tools

Colored pencils are wonderful for adding soft, furry texture to the bear and cat. Crayons are also a fantastic, classic choice. Using different shades of brown can be a good, simple introduction to shading for slightly older preschoolers.
