What's In This Picture

In the center of the page, a boy stands proudly behind a wooden lemonade stand. He wears a baseball cap and a bright smile as he interacts with a large, gentle bear. On the counter, you will find a tall pitcher filled with lemonade, several cups waiting to be filled, and a few round lemons scattered about. A large sign hangs on the front of the stand, clearly advertising the cold drinks. High above them, a cheerful sun shines brightly in the sky, tucked between soft, fluffy clouds. To the side, a tall tree provides a bit of shade, grounding the scene in a peaceful outdoor setting. Every element, from the wood grain on the stand to the bear's fuzzy fur, is ready for a splash of color.

Coloring Tips

For the lemonade stand, try using different shades of brown or tan to give the wood a natural look. You can make the lemons and the juice in the pitcher pop with a vibrant, sunny yellow. The bear would look wonderful in warm chocolate browns or perhaps a soft cinnamon color. Since it is a sunny day, use a bright yellow for the sun and leave the clouds white or give them a very light blue tint. The boy's baseball cap and clothing are great places to use your favorite bold colors, like red, blue, or green. If you want to add some texture, use short, quick strokes for the bear's fur and light, circular motions for the leaves on the tree.

Did You Know?

Did you know that lemons are actually a hybrid fruit? They are a cross between a bitter orange and a citron. While they might be too sour to eat on their own, they make the most refreshing drink when mixed with water and sugar. Bears also love sweet things, though in the wild, they usually look for berries and honey instead of lemonade!

Try This!

After you finish coloring, you could try making your own real pitcher of lemonade with a grown-up. You can also write a price on the stand's sign to practice your numbers. If you want to tell a story, imagine what the boy and the bear are talking about and write a short dialogue on the back of the page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colors are best for the lemonade?
Bright yellows and light greens work best for the lemonade and lemons to make them look fresh and tasty.
Can I use markers on this page?
Yes, the moderate line density makes it a great choice for markers, though crayons and colored pencils also work wonderfully for shading the bear's fur.
Should I color the background?
Adding a light blue for the sky or some light green for grass around the stand can really help the characters stand out.
For best results, print on standard letter size (8.5" x 11") paper using your printer's "Fit to Page" setting.
