Cement Mixer Truck With Spinning Drum Coloring Page

Roundness is the whole character of this truck. The drum at the back is a fat barrel tipped at an angle with a spiral opening at its mouth, and it takes up nearly half the drawing. In front of it a stubby cab sits high with a wide windshield, a door with a handle, a mirror on a stalk and a grille of three bars between two round headlights. Six wheels sit underneath, each with a plain hub and a ring of tread. There is no background whatsoever, no ground line, no site, nothing. Simplicity like this has a purpose. Every shape is closed, large and separated from its neighbors by a clear gap, so a child using thick crayons can hardly go wrong. The drum is the obvious feature to make a different color from the cab, and the spiral inside its mouth is the one small detail that rewards a careful hand. Wheels can all match or each be different depending on the mood. This is among the easiest sheets on the site and a good first printable for a toddler who is just starting to aim.
