Questions
What age are these car and truck coloring pages for?
Most suit ages 3 to 8. The police car and tractor have bigger, simpler shapes for preschoolers, and the fire truck and garbage truck have more parts for older kids. Kids who love vehicles may want to color the whole set and staple it into a little truck book.
Which vehicles are included?
A race car, fire truck, dump truck, police car, school bus, tractor, monster truck, and garbage truck. Each page also lists simple facts about what that vehicle does, so you can talk about it while coloring.
How can I use these for a vehicle-themed party?
Print a stack, set out crayons, and let kids pick their favorite truck. Many kids enjoy writing their age or initial on the race car's number circle. A garbage truck or fire truck page also makes a nice thank-you to give the real workers in your neighborhood.
