About this coloring page
A big round sun sits in the middle of the page, with sixteen pointed rays around it that alternate between long and short. Inside the sun, a ring of twelve small dots circles a smaller circle, and in the very center a six-petal flower blooms around a round middle.
Coloring ideas
Yellow, orange and red are natural sun colors; try alternating yellow and orange rays. For a creative twist, make the long rays one color and the short rays another, or color the background a deep blue so the sun shines. The center flower can be any color you like.
Skills practiced
Count the long rays, the short rays and the dots, then check that the long and short rays add up to sixteen. The sun is a nice starting point for talking about day and night and why we need sunlight.
Printing tips
This bold page works well with markers on card stock or with chunky crayons. It is a cheerful choice for summer or for brightening a gray winter day.
