Kids Walking Happily To School With Backpacks Coloring Page

Four children walk side by side across the middle of this page, caught mid-step with one foot lifted each. Every one of them grips a shoulder strap with both hands, and every one is grinning. Two wear shorts and sneakers with visible laces, one has a pleated skirt, and the girl at the right end has her hair pulled into a short ponytail. Their packs sit behind their shoulders, mostly hidden, which keeps the figures clean.

There is deliberately nothing behind them. White paper runs from edge to edge, so the sheet rests entirely on the four figures and the little shadows their shoes suggest.

That emptiness is the opportunity here. Add a sidewalk, a row of houses, a crossing guard, or a sky full of birds and the sheet becomes something different every time it is printed. If you would rather keep things simple, work on the clothing alone and leave the rest untouched, because the figures carry the page by themselves.
