Letter S Coloring Page: S is for Sun (Free Printable)

Bright sun rays surround a friendly face on this letter S printable for young alphabet practice. The top of the sheet has large hollow S and s letters with rounded curves, and the center drawing shows a smiling sun with big eyes, raised brows, cheek circles, a round face, and many wide rays. The letters and sun face are roomy enough for broad coloring, while the eyes, cheeks, smile, and separate rays let older preschoolers choose different colors or patterns. Parents and teachers can use this printable with children about ages 3 to 6 to support uppercase and lowercase letter recognition and the beginning s sound in sun. Ask kids to trace the curving path of the big S and small s with a finger, noticing how they bend the same way. Then say "S, s, sun" together. For another activity, count the sun rays aloud, or name more s words such as sock, sand, soap, and star during morning work or circle time together.
