About this coloring page
Jam day begins. The kitty mashes a big bowl of strawberries with a potato masher, with another bowl of whole berries on the side. A little jar of sugar cubes, a wooden spoon, empty jam jars and their lids are lined up on the counter, and the sun hat hangs on the wall near a window with a view of the garden. A simple, cheerful page with lots of round shapes.
Printing and coloring tips
Print at 100% on Letter or A4. Plain 80–100 gsm copy paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils; for markers, use thicker paper or put a scrap sheet underneath so the ink doesn't bleed through. Detailed scenes like this one are easier with fine-tip markers or sharpened pencils.
Ideas for this page
- Color the mashed berries a darker red than the whole ones.
- Leave the empty jars white or light blue so they look like glass.
Questions
Can kids help make jam?
Yes — mashing the berries is a great job for kids. Grown-ups handle the hot stove.
