First Day of Kindergarten

Nothing captures that big morning quite like this first day of kindergarten coloring page. A cheerful child stands waving in front of a school building, complete with a tall door, an arched sign that reads SCHOOL, a flag on its pole, and a friendly tree and flower off to the side. The wide open shapes of the building and the child make it gentle for little hands, while the flag stripes, leaves, and brick details give older colorers something extra to shade. Coloring it together is a warm way to ease first-day nerves and talk about what to expect — new friends, a new teacher, and a backpack full of supplies. Kindergarten comes from German words meaning children's garden, a place where kids grow. Print it on US Letter or A4 the night before and let your child color the school in their favorite colors.
