About this worksheet
This page is one large sun, drawn front-on, filling almost the whole sheet. The round face has two curved eyebrows, two wide eyes with a little white sparkle left blank in each, a small curved nose, a smiling mouth, and two round rosy cheeks sitting just below the eyes. Around the face are twelve pointed rays, evenly spaced like the petals of a flower, each one a long simple triangle shape. There is nothing else on the page: no clouds, no sky, no ground, just the sun and its rays.
That simplicity is the whole point. The rays are long and wide, so a child can colour each one in a single stroke without worrying about staying inside tight lines, and there are twelve of them, which is a nice excuse to reach for several different crayons and make a pattern, or to keep it classic and go all yellow and orange. The cheeks are small circles, which give a bit more of a fine-motor challenge if your child wants to shade them a different colour from the rays. It is an easy page to talk over while colouring, too. Ask why the sun looks happy, or what colour a sun really is.
Because the shapes are so large and there is only one subject on the page, this is one of the easier sheets in the Nature & Weather set. It suits younger colourers who are still working on staying inside bigger areas, and it also works as a quick, low-pressure page for an older child who just wants something cheerful to finish in one sitting.
How to use this sheet
Let your child start with the rays, since each one is a single easy stroke, then move to the face last, where the smaller cheeks need more care. If crayon strays outside a ray, just call it a sunbeam and keep going.
