Tow Truck with Crane Arm

This coloring page shows a strong tow truck with a big crane arm. The arm reaches up at an angle, and a simple hook hangs from its end. The truck is drawn from the side and stands calmly on six wheels, which makes it look especially sturdy.

What can you see?

You can spot the driver's cab with a door and a window, a warning light on the roof, an exhaust pipe behind the cab and the long loading area with side flaps. The crane arm is made of several straight parts and a thick support. Everything is drawn with clear lines, so the areas are easy to recognize.

Ideas for coloring

• The cab in a bold color
• The crane arm in a strong tone
• The hook in a darker color
• The tires dark and the rims a little lighter

Who is this motif for?

The areas are large and clearly separated, with a few extra lines on the crane arm. The picture is a good fit for children from about five years who like big areas but still want to discover a little bit of technology.

What do you think the big hook could lift?

With the crane arm and the hook, a tow truck can pull up heavy things, for example a car stuck in a tricky spot. The arm can be raised and lowered so the load moves slowly and safely. Trucks like this often help on the road when something has happened. Feel free to add a road and think about what the crane should recover next and which color suits a real helper vehicle.
