Cleaning Coloring Pages: A Happy Cleaning Day

A Happy Cleaning Day is a ten-page coloring book about a little duck who tidies the whole house on a sunny morning. It starts with making the bed, then the duck puts the toys away, dusts a picture frame, washes the dishes, sweeps and mops, does the laundry, hangs the washing outside, waters the flowers and finally sits down in a big armchair with a well-earned cup of tea.

Good for talking about chores

Every page shows one simple job, so the book works as a picture chore chart: kids color the page, then do the same job at home. The duck wears the same apron on every page, and the cheerful faces make chores look like fun instead of work. Preschool and kindergarten teachers can use the pages for a “helping at home” theme or for spring cleaning week.

Ideas

• Chore chart: pin the colored pages on the fridge and tick off the job when it is done.
• Sequencing: shuffle the pages and ask kids to put the day in order.
• Storytime: tell the story of the duck’s busy morning while kids color.

Each page has its own download, and Complete Book has the color cover and all ten pages in one PDF. More stories with the same duck are in our duck coloring pages.
