Teddy Bear Story Time at a Back to School Desk
Coloring guide
A smiling teddy bear sits at a small school desk, holding an open picture book in both paws. The left page has a big flower with a stem and leaves, and the right page shows a sun with rays above a few fluffy clouds. A round apple with a leaf rests on the corner of the desk, and the bear's furry feet stick out underneath, near a little chair. Thick, clean outlines keep things easy for preschoolers and early elementary kids who are still building crayon and pencil control. It also makes a calm activity for the first week of school or a reading corner. Red for the apple, yellow for the sun and pink or purple for the flower look good, and a honey-brown coat suits the bear. Print it free whenever you need a quick coloring break.
