Coloring order

Color Sunny's head and body bright yellow first, then fill the big oval on the belly with a warm orange.
Alternate orange and yellow along the spiky sunbeam crest around the head, and give the two fluffy wings soft, pale colors.
The little sun at the end of the tail gets your brightest shade. Save the wide-open smile and the round eyes for last.

Questions to talk about

What do the pointy shapes around Sunny's head look like to you?
Sunny is laughing out loud. What story might have been so funny?
On a bright, sunny day, where would you like to play, and what would you do?

Take it further

Draw a smiling sun on a paper plate with rays like Sunny's crest, then invent your sun's laugh and share it with friends.

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.

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.
