12 Weather Coloring Pages: Sunny Skies and Rainy Walks Free printable PDF · color online

Begin with a bright sky

A smiling sun hangs above rolling hills and a few clouds. Its face and wide hill bands make it one of the quicker pictures in this set. Another sun has curly rays that take more careful coloring, while a third rises above fluffy cloud tops. Children can compare how the artists used straight, spiky or curly lines for the same kind of day. Try a warm sun color on all three pages, then change the sky around it. The sun coloring pages offer more ways to draw and color this familiar shape.

Look for rain gear

A child waits under an umbrella while raindrops fall all around. Another steps through a puddle, making a splash at the boot, and a third walks through wet grass without an umbrella. These drawings help a child notice that rain changes both clothing and ground. Color the coat before the narrow raindrops, or give each boot a bright contrasting shade. The puddle page has several water shapes and takes longer than the broad sun. For another wet-day activity, the rainy-day pages show more puddles and umbrellas.

Find wind and a rainbow

One boy holds an umbrella sideways against curling wind. That page shows motion even without many raindrops: his coat and umbrella lean in the same direction. A rainbow between smiling clouds has broad arcs that are easy to color in a repeated order. Another rainbow sits under clouds while rain continues to fall. Ask whether the sun is coming out, the shower is ending, or both are happening at once. A girl stands beneath a rainbow sky, and a smiling raindrop sits below a final arch. Each rainbow changes the scene rather than repeating the same pair of clouds.

Compare the picture with today

Two children stand with separate umbrellas in one sheet. They can have different coat colors even though they are dressed for the same weather. Look outside together and choose which picture fits: sunshine, rain, wind or rainbow. If the real sky is different, draw a small forecast on spare paper instead of forcing a match. Ordering a sunny sheet, a rain sheet and a rainbow sheet makes a simple weather-change story. The spring coloring pages have other seasonal outdoor scenes after this forecast is finished.
