Friendly Troll Under a Bridge Coloring Page

Deep under a big stone bridge, where the river bubbles merrily, lives a very friendly troll named Barnaby. Barnaby isn't scary at all; in fact, he has the brightest smile and the coziest little house made of river stones and smooth wood. He loves listening to the water music all day long.

On sunny days, Barnaby sits outside his door on his favorite patch of moss, waving hello to the butterflies that flutter by. Sometimes, he even hums a happy tune that sounds just like the gentle splashing of the river. He has a perfect view of the tall trees on the riverbank and the fluffy clouds in the sky.

Barnaby’s favorite hobby is collecting smooth, colored pebbles that wash down the river. He likes to stack them in little towers. Today, he is just enjoying the sunshine and the peaceful sounds of his river home, waiting for someone friendly like you to come and add some color to his world.

• Our Troll Friend, Barnaby: Let's make Barnaby look super cheerful! You could give him a cozy, soft green or maybe a friendly blue shirt. His skin could be a warm, earthy tone like a light brown or peach. And don't forget his big, happy smile!

• The Bridge & Rocks: What color are river stones? Maybe some shades of grey and warm browns for the sturdy bridge and the rocks around his home. Barnaby’s little wooden house would look wonderful in a soft brown or even a playful red!

• The River & Sky: The flowing river needs a lovely bright blue to show how clean and happy it is! The background trees would be beautiful with different shades of green, and the big, wide sky can be a peaceful, light blue with fluffy white clouds.

• Fun Art Challenge: Barnaby loves sparkly things! Can you use your sparkliest colors, or maybe add some tiny glitter, to make the smooth river pebbles near his feet look like magical treasure? Or maybe draw some happy little flowers near his bridge!
