Three Kids Holding Hands Under the Word FRIENDS
Coloring guide
Three smiling children stand side by side holding hands, right beneath big bubble letters that spell FRIENDS. The boy on the left has spiky hair and wears a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. The girl in the middle has a flower on her headband and a simple dress. On the right, a child with curly hair in a puffy bun wears overalls with a front pocket. All three have sneakers or shoes on, and little grass tufts sit near their feet. Stars and hearts of different sizes float around the lettering and the kids. Thick, clean outlines and roomy shapes suit preschoolers and early elementary kids. This free printable fits a classroom kindness week or a first-day-of-school activity. Fill the letters with rainbow stripes and give each child a different bright outfit so every friend stands out.
