Sleepy Star in a Nightcap on a Cloud

A smiling star nestles into a fluffy cloud, wearing a floppy nightcap beneath a crescent moon and drowsy little stars.

Free to print for personal and classroom use. This coloring page is part of the Star collection, made for ages 5–7 and drawn in a Kawaii style.

🎨 How to color it

Color the big star buttery yellow, the nightcap peppermint red with a white pom-pom, the cloud pale lavender, and the crescent moon soft cream. Use chunky crayons or markers for the large star and cloud, then save a sharper pencil for the tiny stars, spirals, eyelashes, and cheek ovals. Try making the hat brim striped red and pink, like a cozy bedtime cap glowing against the cool lavender cloud.

The story behind this coloring page

Vela’s Unseen Blanket — Under the hush-hush sky, Vela tucked her nightcap low and reached for one soft cloud tuft to warm her toes. Read the full story →

Under the hush-hush sky, Vela tucked her nightcap low and reached for one soft cloud tuft to warm her toes. The cloud nook smelled like rain and vanilla, and the wind went swish, swish, swish.

She scooted out from her cozy dip and followed a tiny sneeze. Beside the crescent moon sat a moon-mouse, whiskers sparkling, paws tucked tight. Vela had only one best tuft. She sighed, patted it smooth, and wrapped it around him. “For you,” she whispered.

The mouse curled close and left a silver crumb of moon-warmth in Vela’s cap. She went back with no tuft, but her hat glowed softly all night; can you spot the pom-pom that kept the hush-hush sky warm?
