Timothy Mouse's Christmas Adventure Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Beginning: Timothy Mouse lived behind the wall in the big house. Every year, a giant green monster was brought inside. It had prickly arms, a strange piney smell, and it hummed with a low, scary sound. Timothy would hide and tremble until the monster was gone. This year, his older sister, Squeaky, said, "That's not a monster, Timothy! That's a Christmas tree! It's magic." But Timothy wasn't so sure.

Middle: On Christmas Eve, the house was quiet. Squeaky dared him to go see the "magic." Timothy's heart beat a fast pitter-patter, pitter-patter. He crept out from the wall. The tree was even bigger up close. It was covered in winking lights that made strange shadows dance on the floor. He heard a soft hummmmm from the lights and a tiny clink as an ornament swayed. He was about to run back when he saw it: a small, gingerbread mouse hanging from a low branch. It looked just like him.

Ending: Slowly, very slowly, Timothy crept closer. He reached out a tiny paw and touched the gingerbread mouse. It wasn't scary. It smelled sweet. He looked up and saw all the beautiful colors—red balls, gold tinsel, and a shining star at the very top. The humming sound was actually quite peaceful, like a lullaby. The winking lights were like friendly eyes. It wasn't a monster at all; it was beautiful. Timothy learned that sometimes, the things that seem scary are actually full of wonder, if you're just brave enough to take a closer look.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The 'miniature' perspective is fun for kids and clearly communicates the story. The main character is cute and non-threatening. All the elements—the mouse, the ornament, the branch—are drawn with simple, clear lines and large surfaces, making it accessible for the 3-5 age group's motor skills.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Be brave with Timothy the mouse! He's discovering that the big tree isn't scary at all. Let's color him a nice, soft gray or brown. Look at the gingerbread mouse cookie! It would be yummy colored in a light brown, like a real cookie. The big Christmas tree branch needs a lovely green color. What colors will you make the other ornaments? Red, blue, yellow, sparkly? It's your magical tree!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

This page has a strong vertical composition. Ensure your printer is set to 'portrait' orientation and 'fit to page' to capture the whole scene from the floor to the high branch. Printing on standard A4 or Letter paper is perfectly fine for this design.

Recommended Tools

This page is great for a mix of tools. Use a brown crayon for the gingerbread mouse to get that cookie texture. Use bright, fine-tipped markers for the small details on the ornaments. A nice green crayon or colored pencil would be perfect for filling in all the needles on the big tree branch.
