Every kid knows what it feels like to be the smallest one in the group. Maybe the last one picked, maybe the one told to “wait here where it’s safe.” And that, dear friends, is exactly why children fall head over heels for Tails, the little fox who refused to stay behind!
When Tails first showed up, he was simply the friend who tagged along after the Green Hill Hero, following those blue sneakers through loop-de-loops and lush green fields. But it didn’t take long for everyone to realize this fox had gifts of his own: two tails that spin into a helicopter, a mind full of blueprints, and courage that fills a room. These days he’s a full-blown hero, no tagging along required!
Fun fact for your curious crew: while other cartoon creatures grow up by transforming (one beloved little critter famously has eight possible evolutions, each one a different element!), Tails grew up in a much more relatable way. He grew braver. He believed in himself. He stepped up when his friends needed him, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Pink Hammer Queen and the rest of the team. No sparkly stones required, just heart!
If your child(ren) or students see a little of themselves in this brave-hearted fox, they are going to treasure these Free Printable Tails Coloring Pages! Here’s all you have to do:
- Click on your favorite Tails coloring page(s) from the selection below.
- Download the PDF file(s) to your computer.
- Print.
Easy peasy!
Here’s a sweet activity idea for teachers and parents: after coloring, ask your kiddos to write one sentence about a time they were brave, right on the bottom of the page. It turns a coloring sheet into a keepsake, and we may or may not have gotten a little teary the first time we tried it. (Okay, we definitely did.)
For a bright, cheerful finish, try a sunshine-yellow background behind Tails so his orange fur really glows off the page. Blue crayon on his shoes ties the whole look together beautifully!
