Garbage Truck Lifting a Bin by the Street Lamp
Coloring guide
This garbage truck has big round eyes and a wide smile, and it's busy tipping a wheeled trash bin up with its rear mechanical arms. Inside the back hopper you can see a tied trash bag and a few bundles, which add lots of small shapes to color. Three wheels with detailed hubcaps, a side mirror and a grille shaped like a little grin round out the truck. An old-fashioned street lamp stands on the curb behind it, long lines mark the road, and a leafy bush sits in the bottom corner. The bold outlines help young kids stay inside the lines. Try green or yellow for the truck, gray for the bin and a dark shade for the lamp. Free to print, and a fit for preschoolers and early elementary kids.
