🎨 How to color it

Color the monkey warm caramel, the bow tie cherry red, the heart balloon rosy pink, and the striped flowers sunny yellow with orange centers. The big balloon and round cheeks are perfect for chunky crayon circles, while the flower stripes look neat if colored one petal section at a time. Add a pale pink glow around the floating hearts so the balloon feels extra sweet without filling every bit of white space.

The story behind this coloring page

Nico’s Heart-High Count — Under the tall stripe-petal flowers, Nico tied his bow and set himself a very serious challenge: hold the heart balloon high while counting every heart in the patch. Read the full story →

Under the tall stripe-petal flowers, Nico tied his bow and set himself a very serious challenge: hold the heart balloon high while counting every heart in the patch. “One, two, whee!” he whispered, because the balloon string tickled his paw. The air smelled like warm leaves and sugar-dust, and his starry eyes followed the little hearts bobbing above the stems.

He counted the heart on his tail charm, the heart in the sky, and the plump balloon heart tugging upward. Then came the twist: the round flowers began clicking their petals—tick-tick, tick-tick—as if they had been counting Nico all along. Nico giggled so hard his bow wobbled, but he still stood right where he fit best, between flowers that could count and hearts that could float. Can you find the heart Nico counted last?
