Mother’s Day coloring pages for grown-ups.
Mother’s Day is a Sunday, and Sunday Blooms is in the library: big flowers, drawn close.

A coloring hour for Mother’s Day
Print the hibiscus in Regular and Bold and set a vase of fresh flowers in the middle of the table. The Story Starter asks about a Sunday table, so it opens a story about home without asking about anyone in particular.
Mother’s Day can be tender. Offer the page, and if someone would rather color something else today, let them.
Families visiting that weekend can color alongside: the same drawing twice, Regular for the visitor and Bold for the person they came to see. A finished page makes a gift someone can give.
“What flower would you pick for a Sunday table?”
Three steps, about an hour
- Print both versions of the same drawing, Regular and Bold, on plain letter paper.
- Hand out a page or two to each person, wherever they are: the table, a lounge chair, a bedside.
- Read the Story Starter aloud while they color. Then wait.
Bold has thicker lines and fewer tiny details, easier to see and easier to finish. Everyone colors the same picture.

Good to know
What if someone won’t join?
Leave a page and a pencil within reach, and read the Story Starter anyway. The question works without the page. Some days it's a no, and that's fine.
Can volunteers and families use the pages?
Yes. Staff and volunteers can print pages for the people you serve, their families, and visitors. Families can color along, and finished pages belong to whoever colored them.
What is a Story Starter for?
It's one question to read aloud while they color, so there's something to talk about. It's about their own life, never a quiz. If the room is happy and quiet, skip it.
