Children Walking to School Coloring Page

Three kids walk together up the path to school, grinning straight ahead. The boy on the left has swoopy bangs and a backpack over a long-sleeve shirt. The girl in the middle wears a headband, a skirt, and a backpack, and carries a lunchbox in one hand. The boy on the right has curly hair and a hoodie with a front pocket, backpack straps crossing his chest. Behind them sits a peak-roofed schoolhouse with a round window up top, two square windows, and a double front door at the top of a short flight of steps. A tree with a bushy base stands on each side, tufts of grass poke up near the kids' sneakers, and the sidewalk below them is marked with a few simple crack lines.

The clothes and backpacks give a child plenty of medium-sized shapes to fill in without any of them being fiddly - a shirt, a skirt, a hoodie pocket, three backpacks that can each be a different color. The lunchbox is a nice small detail to single out for a bright color, and the schoolhouse windows are simple enough for a five-year-old to keep inside the lines. Because none of the three kids overlaps confusingly with another, it is easy to talk through who's who while coloring: the one with the headband, the one with curly hair, the one with the lunchbox.

This is a straightforward, friendly page with big open sections and only a little fine detail in the faces and hair. It suits kids just starting out with coloring as well as slightly older kids who want to move fast and finish something for a back-to-school folder or classroom display.
