About this coloring page
A tracked digger sits on a long crawler track with three round rollers inside. Above it is a square cab with a big window and a small exhaust pipe on top. A two-part arm bends up and over to the right, ending in a scooping bucket with three short strokes falling beneath it.
The jointed arm is made of long, narrow pieces that reward a steady hand, and the three track rollers add some small circles to work around. Kids who love construction sites can talk about each part as they color it.
Color ideas
- Yellow for the cab and both arm sections, with black or dark gray for the crawler track.
- Turn the three strokes under the bucket into falling dirt and color them brown, then add a mound of earth on the ground below.
- Color the three rollers inside the track silver and the cab window light blue with a white shine streak.
Did you know?
- Diggers like this are often called excavators. Their wide tracks spread out the machine's weight so it does not sink into mud.
- The two parts of an excavator's arm are called the boom and the stick, and the scoop at the end is the bucket.
- On most excavators, the whole cab and arm can turn all the way around on top of the tracks.
Try this
Bend your arm at the shoulder, elbow and wrist to copy the digger, then scoop up a pile of building blocks with a cupped hand and move them to a new spot.
