01About this page
This cheerful printable coloring page shows a young child arriving for the first day of school. Large block words at the top read “FIRST DAY SCHOOL,” centered above the scene. The child stands in the foreground on the left with curly hair, round glasses, a smiling face, a collared shirt with buttons and a pocket, cuffed pants, sneakers, and a backpack held over one shoulder. One hand is raised in a friendly wave, creating a welcoming back-to-school moment. Behind the child, a simple school building fills the right side of the page, with a peaked roof, double doors, front steps, a circular window, and a small flag on top. A rounded bush sits near the entrance, adding an outdoor detail without making the scene too busy. The composition has large, clear spaces that are easy for children to color, with enough smaller areas like the glasses, buttons, backpack straps, shoes, flag, doors, and shrub to practice careful coloring.
