Tow Truck with Car at the Garage

This coloring page shows a flatbed tow truck bringing a small car to a garage. A compact car stands safely on the flat loading bed. On the right side of the picture you can see a simple workshop building with a big door and a pointed roof.

What can you see?

The tow truck is drawn from the side: driver's cab, one warning light on the roof, large wheels and the long, straight loading bed. The car being carried has doors, windows and round wheels. The building behind is made of clear lines and just a few areas, with a wide roller door the car can drive straight into. Together this makes a calm scene that is easy to read.

Ideas for coloring

• The tow truck in a bold color
• The carried car in a different shade
• The garage door in a quiet color
• The roof a little darker than the wall

Who is this motif for?

The areas are mostly large, and the building adds a few straight lines. The picture fits children from about five years who want to color a small scene and try out several colors along the way.

What do you think happens to the car once it reaches the garage?

In a garage, mechanics repair cars that are broken. They look at the engine, the tires and the brakes and replace whatever no longer works properly. The tow truck brings the vehicle there because it cannot drive on its own. You can turn the ground into a road, add a sign to the workshop and imagine which tools might be waiting inside for the car.
