Coloring page story

On a sunny day, Mom cut a watermelon in half. After scooping out all the yummy red fruit, two big, empty green shells were left. "Look!" said Maya. She turned one upside down. It was a perfect little green house for her toy cars. Vroom, vroom! Her little brother turned the other one over and put it on his head. "Look!" he giggled. "A hat!" It was a silly, green, stripey hat.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The familiar scene of sibling play is highly relatable for children aged 3-5. The simple, clear actions—pushing a car and wearing a hat—are easy to understand. The large, rounded shapes of the watermelon halves and the simple figures of the children are perfectly suited for their developing motor skills. This makes celebrating National Watermelon Day a fun, imaginative family activity.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Look at these silly siblings! They are having so much fun with the watermelon. Let's color their fun day. The watermelon house and hat should be a nice bright green. You can make the little toy car your favorite color! What colors will you choose for the girl's dress and the boy's shirt? Make them look bright and happy!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on a sturdy paper like cardstock to create a durable piece of art. Since the scene is self-contained, it will look great even if printed with a small border. Use a 'fit to page' setting to make sure the entire sweet scene is captured for your National Watermelon Day craft time.

Recommended Tools

Crayons are wonderful for this page. Children can practice their circular motions when coloring the watermelon rinds and straight lines when coloring the rug. This helps build foundational motor skills. Plus, the waxy texture of crayons gives a classic, storybook feel.
