Turtle Timothy & Squeaky's Game Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Timothy Turtle loved his beautiful, bumpy shell. It was his house, his shield, and his favourite place to play a special game.

His best friend, Squeaky the Mouse, would call out, "Let's play the tucked-in game, Timothy!"

Timothy would giggle a slow turtle giggle. "Ready or not, here I hide!"

Then—WHOOSH!—Timothy would pull his head, his little legs, and his tiny tail into his shell. He would look just like a smooth, patterned stone.

Squeaky would scamper around, sniffing. "Hmm, is he behind the dandelion? No. Is he under the clover leaf? No." Squeaky would pat the shell gently. "I wonder where my friend Timothy could be?"

From inside the shell, Timothy would wiggle, and the shell would wobble. Squeaky would squeal with delight, "I found you!"

And Timothy would pop his head out, smiling. It was the best game in the whole wide meadow.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For the best coloring experience, print this page on medium-weight paper or cardstock to prevent markers from bleeding through. Use your printer's 'Best' or 'High Quality' setting to ensure the black outline strokes are crisp and clear, making it easier for your child to color inside the lines of their new turtle friend.

Recommended Tools

Chunky crayons or large, washable markers are ideal for little hands. They provide great color coverage for the large, open spaces in this outline-only design. Colored pencils are also great for practicing more detailed coloring on the shell patterns. Always supervise use of art supplies.
