Ringing a Little Bell as Friends Run Behind Doraemon

Doraemon takes up the bottom half of the page with a big open-mouth smile, closed happy eyes, whiskers and his tongue sticking out. One arm is raised high, holding a small round object that has little shake lines around it, as if it is ringing or buzzing. His collar and the round bell below his chin are clearly drawn. Across the top, four of his friends run in a row: a large boy in a loose shirt with puckered lips, a girl with pigtails and a pleated skirt, a boy with spiky hair and a collared shirt, and a boy in a cap with one hand near his mouth. The big shapes on Doraemon are easy for small hands, while the running kids add finer detail for older children. Try coloring Doraemon in classic blue and giving each friend a different outfit color, then ask kids to guess what the buzzing object might be. This page is free to print.
