Grandfather Coloring Page
An older man with bare arms, bare hands, round human ears on the sides of his head, short straight hair, nothing on top of his head, one pair of round glasses, one small human nose drawn as one short curve, one small straight moustache drawn as one wide flat shape just under his nose, two big round eyes each holding one white highlight and a mouth drawn as one short curved line shorter than one eye, wearing a plain shirt with a wide collar, and holding one plain walking stick in one hand. From the collection Family Coloring Pages for Preschoolers.
Built for ages 3 to 5: one clear subject with a few large parts to fill, a 7-point outline that forgives wobbles, and no detail smaller than a crayon tip, so a four-year-old can finish it neatly in one sitting. More for this age: 4 year olds, 5 year olds, kindergarten.
Print at 100% on plain white paper. Free for personal and classroom use under our terms.
How to color it
Start with the biggest area, the grandfather itself, and use one solid color for the big shape and a second color for the small tracing row or dots. Fill it before moving on to the smaller parts.
This is a preschool page with a 7pt outline: thick enough to forgive, with a few distinct areas to fill. Regular crayons or washable markers both work well.
Encourage filling one area at a time before moving on. Ask one open question about the picture rather than correcting colors; an unusual color choice is a good sign of a child making decisions.
