Six wide rays spread out from a round sun on this positive thinking coloring page, and each ray holds one word in hollow letters. Reading clockwise from the top, the words are Kind, Brave, Calm, Happy, Strong and Loved. Each ray gets wider as it moves away from the sun and has rounded corners at its outer end, and the circle in the middle is left blank. Big shapes and thick outlines make it an easy page for ages 4 to 9.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "a big sun in the center of the page with six wide rays, each ray with one positive word inside it: 'Kind', 'Brave', 'Calm', 'Happy', 'Strong' and 'Loved', drawn with thick bold outlines, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page". The six words sit one per ray, in the same order as in the idea.

How to use it

The blank circle leaves room for a child to write their name or draw their own face. A teacher can ask each student to choose the word that fits them today and color that ray first. A school counselor can read the six words with a child and talk about a time they felt brave or kind. Finished suns brighten an affirmation board. For a class that wants its own six words, design a sun with words your students choose.
