Two Happy Turtle Pals Puddle Fun Coloring

Coloring page story

Little Pip the turtle was following his Papa. "Where are we going, Papa?" he asked.

"I'm showing you the Puddle Path, Pip," said Papa Turtle. "It’s the best way to find the juiciest clover."

The path was full of puddles from yesterday’s rain. Papa stepped right in the first one. SPLISH!

Pip giggled and copied him. splish!

They walked to the next puddle. Papa went SPLASH! Pip went splash!

They found a big, long puddle and they both went SPLOOOOOSH! Muddy water splashed everywhere. They laughed and laughed. At the end of the path was a field of the greenest, tastiest clover. As they munched, Pip said, "Papa, the Puddle Path is the most fun path in the world!"

The large puddle and turtle shells offer big, easy-to-color areas, building confidence, while the smaller splash outlines offer a slight challenge for developing motor control.
