Shoulder Ride With Dad: Father's Day Coloring Sheet
Coloring guide
Dad strolls along with a little boy sitting up on his shoulders, and the boy has both arms stretched high with joy. They're both smiling wide. Dad has on a short-sleeved shirt with a round collar, long pants and sneakers, and the boy's sneakers dangle down on either side of his father's chest. Three puffy outlined clouds float in the empty space around them, leaving lots of room for a sky. The lines are bold and the shapes big, so preschoolers and early elementary kids should do fine. It also makes a good Father's Day gift. A sunny yellow shirt for dad, a fresh green top for the boy and a light blue background would work well. This free printable PDF is quick to print for crayons or markers. Love this Father's Day coloring page? You might also enjoy our New Year and Halloween coloring pages.
