“He has mud on his nose and stars in his eyes. A good man in a little boy’s body.”
I was watching my little boys play in their sandbox a few weeks ago and this verse just kinda popped into my head so I thought I’d make it into a free printable! It’s very possible that it’s originally from somewhere else and my crazy brain just thinks I made it up (Don’t you hate it when that happens!) but I’ve dedicated at least a few minutes (hey, that’s a lifetime when you have small kids) of online research and haven’t turned up anything. Let me know if you know otherwise!
So, to celebrate my little Maxwell Flynn turning one, I thought I would offer it as a free T&T Print. I, once again, left it just as an outline so that you could color it in yourself. I like to think of these as coloring pages for adults (although, now that I write that out…”Coloring Pages for Adults”…that does not sound as good as it did in my head. Brings forth all kinds of disturbing mental images.) Download and print the “Little Man” Free Coloring Print!
I printed mine on textured greeting paper but any thin watercolor paper would do. You’re going to want to use a really thin paintbrush since the lettering can be quite detailed in places. It takes a good amount of time to get through all the letters but I think the end result is very nice.
I have an extra print that I’ll be giving away on my Facebook page. Jump on over there if you’d like one! I’ll even paint it in any color scheme if you’d like.
Click on the image below if you’d like to print out your own “Little Man” artwork to paint. Hope you enjoy it!

I am in love with the font. Did you just make it up or is it a font you have?

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Ie.
I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let
you know. The style and design look great though!
Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Kudos
