Looking for a sad face coloring page that young children can read at a glance? This big round face has droopy eyebrows, heavy eyelids and a downturned mouth, and one teardrop sits under the eye on the right. Thick outlines and wide open spaces make it an easy page for ages 3 to 6.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "one big round sad face filling most of the page, with a downturned mouth, droopy eyebrows and one teardrop on its cheek, drawn with thick outlines, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page". The face on this page is the drawing that idea produced.

How to use it

A preschool teacher can bring it out after a story where a character feels sad, then ask the class what could help the face feel better. A school counselor or a child therapist can keep a few copies in the office, so a child can color during a talk about a sad day. At home, a parent can color the teardrop blue with a child and ask when they last felt this way.
