🎨 How to color it

Color the chick buttery yellow, the sweater mint green, the striped bow tie coral, and the polka-dot rain boots navy blue with white spots. Use chunky crayons or washable markers for the big round body and puddle, then let a grown-up help with the tiny boot dots and bow stripes if needed. Try making the puddle pale blue at the edges and a little darker where the raised boot makes its splash.

The story behind this coloring page

Finch’s Puddle Ribbon — Every rainy morning, Finch tied his paper ribbon around the tallest grass blade and counted the dark wet stripes. Read the full story →

Every rainy morning, Finch tied his paper ribbon around the tallest grass blade and counted the dark wet stripes. He wanted to make a rain gauge all by himself, even though the drops went plink-plink and smeared his careful blue lines. One day, the ribbon slipped free and floated into the widest puddle.

Because of that, Finch stepped in with one boot and felt the cold water wobble. Because of that, the ribbon curved like a little bridge, carrying a ladybug across without a splash. “I made a river road!” Finch whispered. At last, he tucked the soggy ribbon into his bow and made a stronger one from leaf stems. Next time you spot his lifted boot, can you find the puddle that held his first wet stripes?
