Girl Blowing Bubbles Colouring Page

This sheet shows a little girl standing with her bubble bottle in one hand and the wand held up to her mouth, mid-blow. Her hair is pulled into a high ponytail, and she wears a simple t-shirt and skirt with leggings and buckled shoes underneath. Off to her right, five bubbles drift upward in a loose diagonal line, each one a plain circle with a small oval highlight inside to show the shine. There is no background scenery at all, just the girl and her bubbles on an open page, so nothing competes for attention.

The appeal here is in the shapes. The bubbles are big, clean circles that a young child can fill in one stroke at a time without worrying about staying inside a tiny line, and the girl's skirt, shirt and ponytail are all broad, closed areas that work the same way. The small bits, her fingers, the wand loop, the highlight dots in each bubble, give slightly older children something fiddlier to slow down for if they want it. It is also an easy one to talk about while colouring: how many bubbles can you count, should they all be the same colour or different, what colour is the biggest one.

Because the shapes are so large and there is no clutter around them, this is one of the easier sheets in the bubble and outdoor-play set. It suits a child colouring mostly independently, including a first-timer with crayons, while still leaving the small details for a parent to point out if a child wants a bit more of a challenge.
