About these groundhog day coloring pages

Every February 2, people wait to see whether a groundhog will see its shadow, and these Groundhog Day coloring pages follow the furry forecaster from burrow to hilltop. Ages 3 to 5 get one big groundhog, such as one peeking out of its burrow or a kawaii groundhog in a tiny top hat. Ages 6 to 8 get a groundhog shading its eyes in the sunshine and a cutaway of a cozy burrow, and kids 9 and up get children watching on a snowy hill and woodland friends waiting for spring. Teens and adults can try a realistic portrait and a mandala.

For a February classroom activity, make a class prediction before the big day, then color the sunny page or a snowy one to match what the groundhog does. Older kids can keep a weather log for the six weeks that follow and check the forecast.

Also in winter coloring pages, spring coloring pages, cute coloring pages and kawaii coloring pages.

Groundhog Day facts to share

  1. Groundhogs, also called woodchucks, are large ground squirrels in the marmot family.
  2. Groundhogs hibernate through the winter in underground burrows, and their heart rate and body temperature drop sharply while they sleep.
  3. The best-known Groundhog Day celebration takes place in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and has been held there since 1887.

Color idea: Layer warm browns and tans for the fur with a lighter belly, then use pale blues and white for snow and a bright yellow sun to set off the forecast.

Groundhog Day coloring page questions

What happens on Groundhog Day?

On February 2, a groundhog comes out of its burrow. Folklore says that if it sees its shadow there will be six more weeks of winter, and if it doesn't, spring will come early. The mandala of suns, snowflakes and crocuses shows both outcomes.

Which Groundhog Day pages suit preschoolers?

The easy pages are made for ages 3 to 5: the groundhog peeking out of its burrow and the kawaii groundhog in a tiny top hat. Each has one big, round animal and only a snowy mound or ground line.

How do I color a groundhog realistically?

Real groundhogs are grizzled brown, with darker feet and tail and lighter, reddish-tan fur on the belly. Their front teeth are creamy white and their small ears and nose are dark. Layer two or three browns for the fur in the realistic portrait.
