Friendly Giant Waving Colouring Page

This giant stands facing forward with a wide, friendly smile, waving with his left hand held up and open. His right hand holds a flower with six rounded petals, a round centre, and a stem with two small leaves. He has a bald round head, two big curved ears, arched eyebrows, and a big oval nose. His outfit is simple: a V-necked tunic gathered by a thick belt with a square buckle, loose trousers, and two large rounded boots.

Almost every shape on this page is big and closed off from the next, which is exactly what makes it work for small hands. The tunic, the trousers, and each boot are wide open spaces a child can fill in with a few strokes and no need for careful edging. The flower is the one part that asks for a bit more care, since its six petals and two leaves are smaller and sit close together, so a child gets to choose between racing through the giant's clothes and slowing down for the flower. The waving hand, with its five spread fingers, gives them something to talk about too, since he looks like he is saying hello.

Because the body, clothes, and boots are so roomy, this page suits a child who is just starting out with crayons or is still working on staying inside the lines, while the flower gives slightly older preschoolers a small extra challenge. There is no shading or fine detail to fight with, so it prints and colours quickly, and the friendly, rounded face keeps this giant feeling gentle rather than scary, even for a child who is wary of "big" characters.
