Beach Day Wardrobe — Bear & Outfits

About this coloring page

This coloring page has the paper bear and a pink polka-dot sundress, a mint romper with a tropical print, a blue striped sundress with a starfish, a yellow floral playsuit, a straw sun hat with a pink bow, a striped beach tote, pink sunglasses and a bucket and spade — all as black-and-white line art with the white fold-over tabs. It is page 1 of the Beach Day Wardrobe; page 2 has six more pieces drawn to the same scale. Color the bear and the outfits, cut along the outlines and the page becomes a teddy bear paper doll.

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

• A rainy-day summer activity: dress the bear for the beach you wish you were at.
• Print the page twice and color the same outfit in two different ways, then compare them on the bear.
• Color first, cut second: it is much easier to color the small tabs and bows while the page is still in one piece.
