Colouring PagesHot air balloon colouring page
A hot air balloon to print on A4 paper or to colour on the screen. Medium
How to use this page
On paper: tap "Print the blank page". Only the picture is printed, with a line for the child's name. On screen: tap a colour, then tap a part of the picture to fill it. "Undo" takes back the last fill, and white rubs a part out. Nothing is saved; the picture is fresh each time you open it.
Colour ideas
Colour the long stripes in two or three bright colours in turn. The basket is brown. The clouds can stay white.
Straight edges are good practice for a steady hand. Colour along the inside of each line first, then fill the middle. When the picture is finished, ask who owns it or where it is going, and let the child draw that around it.
