Coloring page story

Baby Chloe was crying. Wah, wah! Her big brother, Tom, didn't know why.

"Her tummy has a secret knock," Dad explained. He gently put Chloe in Mom's arms. Chloe snuggled close to Mom. Nuzzle, nuzzle.

"That's the knock!" Dad whispered. "When a baby nuzzles like that, it's the secret knock for Mommy's milk." Instantly, Chloe was quiet, drinking her warm milk. Slurp, slurp.

Tom tried the secret knock. He nuzzled his cheek against Mom's arm. She smiled and gave him a big hug. "The secret knock works for hugs, too!" she said.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The illustration focuses on a single, clear emotional moment—a hug—which is easily understood by children aged 3-5. The large shapes and lack of a complex background help children focus their coloring efforts and build confidence. The theme reinforces the idea that love and physical affection are for everyone in the family.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

It looks like Tom discovered the secret knock for hugs! Let's color this happy picture. What is your favorite color to wear? You can make Tom's shirt that color! And let's give Mom a shirt in a color that feels warm and happy, like sunshine yellow or a soft pink. You can make the couch any color you want—maybe it has stripes or polka dots!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print this page in 'portrait' orientation. A standard copy paper works well for crayons and colored pencils. If using markers, placing a spare sheet of paper underneath can protect your table. A clean print will make this National Breastfeeding Month family scene a joy to color.

Recommended Tools

Twistable crayons are fantastic as they don't require sharpening and are less prone to breaking. For a different texture, try watercolor paints (with a smock and supervision!), which can beautifully fill the large areas of the couch and clothing.
