Sizzling Fun Facts to Share While You Color

Vacation time is full of amazing natural phenomena! To make your coloring session even more fun, share these sizzling facts with your family while picking out the perfect bright yellows, ocean blues, and sunset pinks for your summer coloring pages:

• The Dog Days: Have you ever heard the hottest days of the year called the "Dog Days of Summer"? The ancient Romans named this period after Sirius, the Dog Star, which rises right alongside the sun during late July! Keep that in mind while coloring your summer coloring pages.
• Eiffel Tower Growth: Due to the intense heat causing the iron structure to expand, the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris can actually grow up to six inches taller during the summer months!
• Watermelon Wonder: One of the most popular summer snacks, the watermelon, is not just a fruit. It belongs to the gourd family and is related to pumpkins and cucumbers, and it is made of 92% water!
• Midnight Sun: If you travel to the northernmost parts of the world, like Iceland or Norway during the summer solstice, the sun literally never sets! They experience 24 hours of continuous daylight.

Creative Ways to Bring Your Summer Coloring Pages to Life

When you print out our summer coloring pages, you are the director of your own vacation! Because this season is all about vibrant, energetic colors, you have total creative freedom over your summer coloring pages. We highly recommend using bright, neon markers or vivid colored pencils to make the beach balls, sunglasses, and popsicles on your summer coloring pages look incredibly intense and fun.

If you print your summer coloring pages on heavy cardstock, you can even use watercolors to paint stunning, layered sunset backgrounds behind palm trees. You can also use real sand and a glue stick to add actual texture to the beaches on your summer coloring pages! Once finished, these cheerful pages make fantastic decorations for a pool party or a fun visual diary for a family scrapbook.
