The big star on this star shape coloring page has five rounded points and a happy face with round eyes, rosy cheeks and an open smile. The word STAR sits above it in thick outlined letters, and five small stars float around it: two beside its top point, two by its lower points and one just below it. The thick lines make it an easy page for toddlers and preschoolers, about ages 2 to 5.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "one big five-pointed star with a happy face in the middle of the page, with the word STAR in hollow capital letters above it and a few small stars around it, drawn with simple bold outlines for preschool and kindergarten, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page".

How to use it

A preschool teacher can ask children to touch and count the five points of the big star, then count the small stars and find five of those as well. Each small star also has five points, so the number five comes up again every time a child counts. At home, a family can turn the colored page into a reward chart, with a sticker on each small star. For a reward chart with a child's name across the top, put that name on a star page.
