Simple beach coloring page with a striped umbrella, towel, sand, waves, and clouds

Striped Umbrella and Beach Towel

A tall striped beach umbrella shades a folded towel on sandy shore, with little waves and puffy clouds behind it.

🎨 How to color it

Use sunny yellow and aqua blue on the umbrella panels, sandy tan under the pole, and coral pink stripes on the towel. Chunky crayons are perfect for the big umbrella slices and wide towel bands, and it is okay if little hands color over the thick lines. Try making every other umbrella panel a different bright color, like a beach rainbow.

The story behind this coloring page

Benny Meets the Tiny Crab — Under the big umbrella, Benny patted the sandy towel. Pat, pat. Read the full story →

Under the big umbrella, Benny patted the sandy towel. Pat, pat. He wanted his blue shell cup, but it sat just outside the shade, where the sand felt hot.

Benny tiptoed out. Ooch, ooch! A tiny crab peeked from a wiggly hole. “Hello,” Benny whispered. The crab tapped one claw beside the cup. Benny picked it up and smiled.

Back in the cool shade, Benny set the cup on the towel. His toes were warm, but his smile was soft. Next time you see the umbrella, can you find where Benny stepped out—pat, pat?
