The Dawn Painter Pegasus Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Aurora was a special pegasus. Her wings weren't just white; they were filled with all the colors of a sunrise.

Before the sun woke up, when the sky was still a sleepy dark blue, Aurora would begin her work. She would dip the tip of one wing into an invisible pot of pink. Swoosh! A pink stripe appeared in the sky.

She’d dip her other wing into a pot of orange. Swish! An orange glow spread out. She'd use her tail to add a little bit of yellow. Dash, dash, dash!

She was painting the dawn. She did it every single day, creating a new masterpiece for the world to wake up to.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The large, simple arches of the dawn are perfect for preschoolers (3-5) to practice coloring. This design helps with color recognition and encourages them to fill large spaces, which is satisfying and builds confidence. The magical pegasus theme captivates their imagination.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Good morning, artist! It's time to help Aurora the pegasus paint the sunrise. See the big stripes in the sky? You can color them pink, orange, and yellow, just like in the story. Or you can make your own special sunrise with your favorite colors! What color will you make the beautiful pegasus? Try to color carefully inside each big stripe outline.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

This page looks stunning when printed in landscape format to emphasize the wide expanse of the sky. Printing on a slightly thicker paper will work well if children want to use markers or even watercolors to 'paint' the dawn, just like the pegasus Aurora.

Recommended Tools

Watercolor paints (with supervision) would be a perfect thematic tool for 'painting' the dawn. Alternatively, side-swiping with the edge of a crayon is a great technique for filling in the large, arching stripe outlines smoothly and quickly.
