Letter S Is for Sun Coloring Page

A hollow capital S and a hollow lowercase s open this page, and a smiling sun shines below with a ring of simple triangular rays around its round face. S is the same shape in both cases, so like C and O in this set it only asks a child to repeat one motion at two sizes. That motion is a double curve though, bending one way and then back the other, which makes S harder than its twin letters even though it looks no more complicated. Tracing the large capital first and then the smaller lowercase is the useful order here. The sun below breaks into a face and a ring of separate rays, which gives a child a decision to make about whether every ray gets the same colour or not, and that small choice keeps the page interesting for longer than a single large shape would. It suits a weather topic, a summer session or a display board, and the thick outlines mean it still prints cleanly if the sheet is reduced or photocopied.
