I enjoyed testing out this coloring page myself, and I bet you will, too.

How to Prepare This Printables

This coloring page is pretty simple to prepare. Just print it on regular printer paper, and you’re all set!

I like to print mine on cardstock, because I think crayons color smoother on cardstock than on printer paper.

You could also cut down some watercolor paper if your kids want to use markers or watercolor pencils. Watercolor paper will help prevent the colors from bleeding.
