Tick-Tock Bird & Loaf Cat Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Loaf Cat was a patient loaf under the big grandfather clock. Tick, tock, tick, tock. The sound made him sleepy. He dreamed the clock door opened. Twist: Instead of a cuckoo bird, a little wooden bird with a "tick-tock" tummy hopped out and asked him to dance a tick-tock dance. They swayed side to side, in time with the clock. Tick, tock. He woke up to the steady, comforting sound.

Let's Play! Let's sway back and forth and say "Tick, Tock."

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This coloring page is great for kids aged 3-5. The tall, straight lines of the grandfather clock are excellent for practicing controlled vertical strokes. The characters are simple and friendly. The concept of a dancing clock-bird is whimsical and fun, sparking imagination while the large shapes support motor skill development.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Recommended Tools

Colored pencils are a great choice for this page, allowing for neat coloring on the clock face and the bird. Crayons are perfect for the large areas like the walls and rug. Using a ruler (with help) to color in the striped wallpaper could be a fun extra challenge for older kids in the age range.
