Coloring order

Color the big orange areas of Leo's firefighter jacket and pants first, then give his yellow helmet one bright, even color.
Next, color the thick hose in his hands and the long coil trailing behind him in dark gray or black.
Last, color the reflective bands on the sleeves and cuffs, the little badge on the helmet and the big boots.

Questions to talk about

Where do you think Firefighter Leo is rushing off to with that hose?
How many reflective stripes can you find on his jacket and pants?
Have you ever seen a fire truck or a fire station? What did it look like?

Take it further

Wind a piece of yarn around yourself like a hose and play firefighter, rushing off to help someone who needs it. The fire is pretend, of course.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

The black-and-white line art you print and color, with clear outlines and wide areas that suit younger children.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
