A coloring hour for Valentine’s Day
Print the roses in Regular and Bold and set out reds, pinks, and every other color. A rose doesn’t have to be red, and a heart doesn’t have to be pink.
Read the Story Starter once and wait. Candy, flowers, or a card is a question about taste, not about a sweetheart, so anyone at the table can answer it.
Sign and date the finished pages. They belong to whoever colored them, and some go home as valentines.
“Valentine's Day: are you a candy, flowers, or card person?”
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 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.
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.
Which version should each person get?
Choose by the person and the day. Regular suits a long, quiet sit. Bold has thicker, darker lines and fewer tiny details, so it's easier to see and finish. Same picture either way, so no one gets "the easy page."
