Bear and Cub Fishing, a Father's Day Pond Scene
Coloring guide
Two bears share a grassy bank, one large and smiling and one a smaller cub. Each holds a fishing rod with the line dropping into the water. Their round paw pads face you, which gives you some fun little spots to color in detail. In the pond, a fish leaps out with water splashing around it, and ripples spread out from where the lines go in. Cattails and tall grass frame the sides, a few rocks sit near the shore, and fluffy clouds and faraway hills fill the background. This free printable could be a sweet Father's Day card or just a calm afternoon project. Warm golden brown suits the big bear, a lighter honey color fits the cub, and a bright orange fish will really pop against blue water.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start by filling the big bear's body, arms, legs and the cub's body with medium brown, leaving the eye whites and the bear's cream muzzle and ears for later.
- 2Color the big pads on both bears' feet with caramel tan, then fill the center of each pad with dark chocolate brown.
- 3Add the water in sky blue around the pond and under the fishing lines, and color the trees and bushes in grass green.
- 4Fill the grassy bank and grass clumps with lime green, the shore dirt with earth brown, and the rocks with light gray.
- 5Color the fish in pale yellow with lime green stripes, and add cattails and reeds in dark chocolate brown and grass green.
- 6Optional: Leave the eye whites and the small highlight shines white, and add a little extra shading on the bears' bellies with darker brown for depth.
