Eyes closed and completely content, this monkey holds a big daisy up to its nose, taking in the smell. Surrounded by more flowers, leaves, and grass, it’s a quiet, peaceful moment — nothing happening except one small, simple pleasure.
A Moment of Stillness
Compared to a lot of the busier, more active monkey pages, this one is all calm — closed eyes, relaxed shoulders, nothing to do but enjoy a flower’s smell. It’s a nice page for slowing down.
What’s Growing Nearby
- A large daisy, held up close
- More daisies and a tulip nearby
- Leaves and grass filling out the ground
- A couple of small rocks scattered around
Coloring Ideas
- Daisies are classically white with yellow centers, though your child can pick any petal color they like.
- The tulip works well in a bold red, pink, or purple, standing out a bit from the daisies around it.
- Classic monkey brown or tan suits the fur, with the usual lighter tone for the face and hands.
- Grass and leaves look good in a mix of greens for a full, natural garden feel.
Noticing Small, Simple Things
This page is a gentle invitation to pause and notice something small — a smell, a color, a quiet moment outside. It’s a nice, low-key way to talk about senses, or simply to model taking a breather.
Questions to Ask
- “What do you think this flower smells like?”
- “What’s your favorite smell outside?”
- “Can you think of other things you like to look at, smell, or touch outdoors?”
Ways to Use This Page
At home, it’s a nice, calm activity for quiet time, maybe paired with actually smelling a real flower outside. In a classroom, it fits well into a lesson on the five senses, or simply as a peaceful coloring option between busier activities.
Printing Tips
Print at 100% scale rather than “fit to page” so the flower petals and smaller garden details stay clean.
