The Sleepy Sun's fall Bedtime Story Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

"Why does it get dark so early?" asked Ollie the owl, who was just waking up. His father, a big snowy owl, pointed a wing to the setting sun. "The sun gets very tired in the fall," he said wisely. "It works hard all summer to keep the trees green and the flowers bright." Ollie watched the big, orange sun sink below the hills. "So it's going to sleep?" he asked. "Exactly," said his father. (Unexpected Twist) "And the beautiful red, orange, and purple clouds are the pages of its bedtime story, telling the world 'goodnight' before it goes to sleep."

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The calm, gentle imagery is ideal for children aged 3-5, especially as a quiet-time activity. The large, simple shapes of the sun, clouds, and hills are easy to fill with color. The story's personification of the sun makes a natural phenomenon feel friendly and understandable.
