Bold dump truck coloring page with dirt load, big tires, shovel, bulldozer, rocks, and hills.

Dump Truck Hauling Dirt at a Work Site

A chunky dump truck carries a mound of dirt past a front rock pile, with a shovel and bulldozer waiting behind it.

🎨 How to color it

Give the dump truck a sunny yellow cab, the dirt piles a cocoa brown, the bulldozer a bright orange, and the far hills a soft tan. Use chunky crayons for the big truck bed and round tires, and don’t worry if little hands color over the thick black lines. Try making the tire bumps dark gray and the tire centers silver, like strong little cookies rolling through mud.

Psst—at the sandy dig lot, a tiny truck named Bram made a brave little dare: roll over one dirt hill before snack time. The hill smelled dusty. The shovel went scrape-scrape. Bram’s smooth tires went slip, slip, slip.

“I can try one more,” Bram whispered. He pressed his wheels into the soft dirt, and the dirt made chunky marks all around them. Grip-grip-grip! Up he rolled. Ever since, work trucks keep those bumpy tire teeth for brave first hills. Can you spot Bram’s dirt hill?
