A girl sits on the floor and hugs her knees on this worried coloring page. Her eyes look down under worried eyebrows, and she bites her lower lip. Above her ponytail floats a small thought cloud with a tangled scribble inside, joined to her head by one tiny bubble. A bow ties her ponytail, and her sneakers have two straps each. The shapes are large and few, so it is an easy page for ages 4 to 8.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "a worried little girl sitting and hugging her knees, biting her lip, with a small scribbly worry cloud floating above her head, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page". The bitten lip, the hugged knees and the scribbly cloud on this page follow that idea.

How to use it

A school counselor can point to the scribble and ask a child what the girl might be worried about, then ask about the child's own worries. In a classroom, it fits a lesson on naming feelings, because the cloud gives worry a shape a young child can see. At home, a family can color it at a quiet moment before bed. To put a child's own worry on paper, make a worry cloud page with space to write inside.
