If your toddler loves watching the big yellow bus roll down the street, this is the coloring page for them. This free download captures the iconic side profile of a school bus using only the most basic shapes: one long rectangle, a few squares for windows, and two perfect circles for wheels.

We’ve kept the lines extra chunky and the details minimal. Why? Because at this age, success is all about having a big, clear space to explore color. Whether they scribble it bright yellow or rainbow-colored, this bus is designed to look great no matter what!

Why the Side View is a Toddler Favorite

• Horizontal Motion: Coloring a long bus helps kids practice moving their arms from left to right. This is a "pre-writing" skill that helps them get ready to write lines of text later on.
• Circle Practice: Those two big wheels are perfect for practicing circular motions. You can even encourage them to "trace" the wheels with their finger before they start coloring.
• Color Recognition: It’s the perfect time to talk about the color Yellow. You can ask, "Can you find your yellow crayon for the big bus?"

Pro-Tip for Parents

Since this bus has several windows, you can ask your child to "draw their friends" inside the squares! It’s a simple way to turn a basic free coloring page into a storytelling activity.
