Sunny Road School Bus for Back to School
Coloring guide
A friendly school bus with one big eye and a little smile rolls along a curving road. It has four square side windows, a tall folding door, a rounded roof, a side mirror and two wheels with dotted hubcaps. Dashed lines run down the road, and a sun with straight rays shines over two puffy clouds. Rounded bushes and small tufts of grass sit along the bottom edge. Thick lines and wide open shapes are easy going for preschoolers and early elementary kids who are just getting used to crayons or markers. Classic school-bus yellow works for the bus, with a blue sky and green bushes around it. Free to print or download. Looking for more?
