Off to Class: Smiling Girl with Backpack, a Back to School Page
Coloring guide
A happy girl with long hair and a headband walks up a paved path toward her school. One hand holds her backpack strap and the other swings a small lunch box. She's wearing a short-sleeved tee, a pleated skirt, ankle socks and sneakers with strap details, and her backpack has a mesh side pocket that's fun to shade. The school ahead has a clock over the doors, a flag on the roof and rows of windows, and a leafy tree, bushes and tall flowers line the walkway. The outlines are large and clean, so preschoolers and early elementary kids can handle it easily. Purple for the skirt and sunny yellow for the backpack will help her pop against green grass and flower beds. Print it free.
