Teddy Bear Colouring Page

This teddy bear sits facing forward with its two paws wrapped around a big round ball held right in the middle of its body. The round head carries two ears, each with a smaller oval inside, two dot eyes, curved eyebrow lines, and an oval snout with a black nose and a simple stitched-look mouth. Down below, two big foot pads point outward, each carrying three small toe ovals, and one of the two pads has a stitched patch sewn onto it, like a well-loved toy that has been mended.

Most of this page is made up of shapes a small hand can fill without much trouble: the round head, the ball in the middle, and the two big foot pads. The six toe ovals and the two ear insets ask for a bit more care, since they are smaller and sit inside a bigger colour. The stitched patch is the one part worth pointing out to a child before they start, since it is the only piece that is not a plain rounded shape, and it gives them a reason to reach for a second colour or to talk about how the bear got mended.

Next to the busier animal sheets in this category, this one is on the easy side. There is nothing to trace with a fine tip, and no shape smaller than a fingertip except the toes and ear insets. It suits a child just starting out with colouring books, and it also works as a quick, calm page to hand over when you need five minutes of quiet.
