Bamboo Shoot Coloring Page (1 of 4)

Bamboo shoots emerging from the soil in Spring. The speed of their growth makes us feel the mystery and joy of life. Try expressing the layering and texture of the skin with shades of brown and beige. If you add stories about ``memories of going digging for bamboo-shoots'' or ``seasonal delicacies,'' you'll have a fun reminiscence session that will fill your heart and stomach. It is also ideal for practicing to improve the strength of your fingertips.
This is a coloring book that can be used for recreation, nursing care facilities, day services, and brain training for the elderly. You can print for free in A4 size.

Meet the bamboo shoot

The bamboo shoot — takenoko — pushes up fast in spring, wrapped in layer after layer of pointed husks. It's a plump, sturdy shape, so it's an easy and satisfying one to fill in. A real taste of the season.
