Large and small bear paw prints on a winding trail with rocks, leaves, and tall grass

Bear Paw Prints on a Leafy Trail

A giant bear paw print and two smaller tracks curve along a simple trail lined with pebbles, leafy stems, and grass.

🎨 How to color it

Use chocolate brown for the bear paw pads, moss green for the tall grass and leafy stems, and soft gray for the scattered pebbles. For little hands, try chunky crayons and fill the big paw pad first, then dab color into the smaller toe circles. Add a sneaky twist by making the tiniest paw print a lighter honey brown, as if it belongs to a cub tiptoeing behind.

Along the ferny track, Pip carried one round mud-button. Plop, plop went his paws. He put it by a pebble and waited. The grass smelled wet and green.

A beetle came tick-tick-tick. Pip grinned. “Not yet,” he whispered.

Then the beetle climbed on the button, spun it like a tiny drum, and made a pop-pop song. Pip’s big paw thumped happy. The plain button was a beetle bandstand! Next time you see the small paw prints, can you hear Pip waiting: plop, plop?
