Smiling Jeep Colouring Page

This jeep has a face built right into the front of it: two big round eyes sit above a grille of four vertical bars, and a curved smiling mouth is drawn just underneath. It's an open-top model, so the windscreen is the only glass, split into two panes by a centre bar, and behind it you can see three roll bars holding up the frame instead of a roof. A round spare tyre is tucked in behind the driver's seat, there's a small side mirror poking out from the front wheel arch, and a thick bumper runs along the bottom of the grille. Four chunky wheels, each with its own hubcap circle, hold the whole thing up.

Almost everything here is a large, closed shape, so this is a page a child can colour without the crayon straying outside the lines every ten seconds. The body panels, the bumper and the tyres are all wide open spaces good for filling in fast, while the grille bars, the eyes and the spare tyre give a few smaller spots for a child who wants to slow down and switch colours. Because the jeep has a face, it also gives you something to talk about while colouring: what colour jeep would be happiest, or what its name might be.

This is one of the easier sheets in the vehicles set, with no tiny mechanical details to fuss over, so it suits younger children still building up control of a crayon or pencil. Older preschoolers who enjoy adding lots of colours will still find enough separate parts, four wheels, two windows, a grille, a spare tyre, to keep them going for a while.
