Lightning Bolt Coloring Page

Meet the star of this Lightning Bolt coloring page: a cute lightning bolt, shown with a smaller mini version of itself beside it. Kids can talk about the scene before they start, guess what happens next, then bring it to life with color. This free printable is ready to download and print at home or in the classroom, and works well for rainy-day play and weekend crafts. As they color, Ages 4–9 children develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, pencil control, observation skills, nature vocabulary -- and along the way, they can learn three new words: flash, static, lightning. Thunder is the sound made when air rapidly expands after being heated by a nearby lightning bolt.
