Hello, little friend! Today, let’s explore the joy of reaching for leaves. It’s a simple pleasure that we find in nature. Imagine you’re in a beautiful park, and there’s a big, friendly tree. This tree loves when children come to play and reach for its leaves.
1. **The Big Friendly Tree:** Can you color the tree in the center? It has a thick, brown trunk and lots of green leaves. Some leaves are falling gently. What colors will you make them? Green? Yellow? Or maybe a mix of both?
2. **Reaching Up High:** Draw yourself under the tree. Are you standing on your tiptoes, reaching up high with your hands? What color is your shirt today? And your pants or skirt? Don’t forget to color your shoes!
3. **A Sunny Day:** The sun is shining bright in the sky. Can you color the sun? And what about the sky? Is it a light blue or maybe more of a bright, sunny yellow around the sun?
4. **Falling Leaves:** A few leaves are falling down. Can you color them as they make their way to the ground? Maybe one is falling right into your hand!
5. **Your Happy Face:** Don’t forget to draw a big, happy smile on your face. Reaching for leaves is so much fun, and it makes us all very happy.
6. **Little Friends:** Maybe you have a friend or a pet with you. You can draw them next to you, trying to catch leaves too. What color will your friend’s clothes be? And if it’s a pet, what kind of animal is it and what colors are they?
### Remember:
– Outside, trees are our friends. They give us shade and make us feel happy.
– Reaching for leaves helps us play, grow, and learn about the world around us.
– Nature is full of colors. When you color this page, imagine all the beautiful colors you see in the park or your garden.
Now, let’s start coloring and enjoy the simple pleasure of reaching for leaves together!
