Tulips The Sleepy Bulb's Spring Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Deep, deep down in the cozy brown earth, a little tulip bulb was sleeping. It was round and snug in its papery coat. One day, a tiny drop of rain went pitter-patter on the earth above. 'Wake up, little bulb,' it whispered. The sun sent a warm, golden ray down, down, down. 'Wake up,' it hummed. The little bulb wiggled its bottom and pushed out a tiny green shoot. Up, up, up it went! When its head popped out of the ground, it wasn't alone! All around were its brothers and sisters, all popping up to say, 'Hello, Spring!'

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The 'Round & Soft Cartoon' style is perfect for ages 3-5. The large, simple shapes of the bulb and flowers are easy for developing hands to color within the lines. The concept of a sleepy bulb awakening is a gentle, relatable introduction to the life cycle of Tulips, matching the cognitive level of preschoolers.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Hello little artist! Look at the sleepy tulip bulb down in the cozy earth. What color will you make the ground? Maybe a nice brown? And see the sprout reaching up? You could make that a bright green! Up top, all the tulip flowers are saying hello. You can make each tulip a different, happy color. What color will you choose for the warm, smiling sun?

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For best results, print this page on medium to heavy-weight paper (like cardstock) to prevent markers from bleeding through. Use your printer's 'high quality' or 'best' setting to ensure the black outlines of the Tulips are crisp and clear for your child.

Recommended Tools

Large, chunky crayons are perfect for this age group as they are easy to grip. Washable markers are also a great choice for vibrant colors. These tools help develop hand strength and coordination while your child has fun coloring their Tulips.
