Cute Scooter With a Basket Coloring Page

Print this scooter coloring page in seconds and hand a child a basket of flowers to fill in. This Cute Scooter With a Basket Coloring Page is drawn head on, with a woven basket of blooms sitting above the front wheel, a smiling face on the body panel and a ribbon bow tied at each end of the handlebars. It is the softest sheet in the set and the one that gives the most room for color choices.

How this coloring page was created

For this page we entered the concept: "A cute little scooter with a smiling face seen from the front, a basket of flowers on the handlebars above the front wheel" on Colorin AI and generated a print ready coloring page in seconds. The two bows came along on their own.

The deciding words were "above the front wheel." Ask only for a basket and the generator hangs it low, off to one side, where it overlaps the wheel and both shapes get muddled. Placing it above the wheel stacks the drawing into three clean layers, basket, face, wheel, and none of them has to fight the others for space.

Details of this scooter coloring page

What makes this one worth printing is the basket. It is the only piece in the whole set that is woven, and the weave is drawn as real overlapping strips rather than suggested with a few crossed lines.

That gives a child two very different jobs on one sheet: the loose, free choice of coloring nine flowers however they like, and the slow, tidy work of the basket underneath. Sheets that mix a fast job with a slow one hold attention longer than sheets that only offer one.

By the count: the basket is four rows of weave, with roughly nine strips crossing in each row. Nine blooms sit above it, seven of them daisy shapes with a round center and one tulip near the middle. Two bows are tied to the handlebars, one on each side, each with two loops and two ribbon tails that fall past the basket. Two round mirrors ride on curved stalks. The face below is two large eyes, a small closed smile and two blush ovals, and the front fender that rises over the wheel is the largest unbroken white shape on the page.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Color the nine flowers before anything else, and use a different color for each one. Once they are down, pick the scooter body to match the flower that came out best. Working from the small pieces to the big one is backwards from how most sheets get colored, and it is why this page tends to end up looking planned.

Leave the basket weave in two tones of the same brown, one for the strips going one way and one for the strips going the other. That single trick is what makes woven things look woven, and there are only four rows here, so it is over quickly.
