"J" for "Juice"
The letter on this coloring page is the 10th letter of the alphabet, Alphabet "J".
A word that starts with J is Juice.
On the left side, we drew a cup of juice with a straw in it.
A round slice of fruit is on the rim of the cup.
Is it orange juice? Or maybe lemon juice?
First, say "Juice" out loud. Then decide what kind of juice you want it to be and start coloring!
How to write the uppercase "J" and lowercase "j"
You write capital "J" with 1 stroke.
Start at the very top line of the 4 lines. Go straight down, and curl to the left near the 3rd line.
It looks like an upside-down umbrella handle!
Lowercase "j" takes 2 strokes.
For ①, start a straight line down from the 2nd line. Go past the 3rd line all the way down to the 4th line, then curve to the left.
For ②, put a little dot right above the line.
Lowercase "j" has a tail that goes below the 3rd line.
It looks a bit like "i", but "j" has a tail at the bottom!
The sound of "J" is close to "ju"
For "J", the name of the letter is read as "Jay".
In words, it makes a sound close to "j", like "ju" in juice or "ja" in jam.
The trick is to push your lips out a little, put your tongue on the top of your mouth, and then let it go to make the sound!
Learning by matching letters to their sounds like this is called Phonics.
It will be easy to remember if you say the sound first, like "j, j, juice," and then read the word.
3 Words that start with J
On the middle right, there are 3 small pictures of words that start with J.
The 1st one is Jellyfish, which means a jellyfish floating in the sea.
The 2nd one is Jet, a jet plane that flies super fast.
The 3rd one is Jam, a sweet spread for bread made by cooking fruit with sugar.
Juice and jam are both friends made from fruit!

Jump is a word that starts with J, too!
How to Color Alphabet "J"
Big "J" and "j": Use the order colors as hints
Color inside the big "J" and "j" at the top right with your favorite colors.
The order numbers are red for ① and blue for ②.
For the small "j", color the long line red and the dot blue. That way, you can easily see which comes first!
You can also use orange or yellow to match the juice for a bright look.
What flavor will your juice be?
Picking a flavor for the juice makes choosing colors super fun!
Try orange for orange juice, light yellow for apple juice, or purple for grape juice.
For the glass cup, leave it white or color it very lightly with light blue. It will look clear and see-through!
Make the straw pop by using a color different from the juice, like red or green.
For the fruit slice on the rim, pick the same color as the juice flavor to make it look great together.
Let's color the small pictures too
Color the jellyfish gently with light blue or light pink to make it look soft and floaty.
Try coloring the jet gray or white, and make the windows light blue.
For the jam, try red for strawberry or dark purple for blueberry. You can make the cloth lid cute with a red and white pattern!
Tracing practice: Watch the tail length!
At the bottom right, there are 4 light gray "J"s and "j"s lined up.
Use a pencil to trace them slowly in the right order.
Here is a tip for big "J": bend the curve right at the 3rd line of the 4 lines!
For small "j", stretch its tail past the 3rd line down to the 4th line.
When you finish tracing, try writing them by yourself in the empty space on the right!
Fun Facts About Alphabet "J"
Alphabet "J" Was Born Later
Alphabet "J" is a letter that was born later than other alphabet letters.
A long time ago, people just changed the shape of "I" a little bit when writing it.
Over time, people started using it as its own special letter.
That is why "i" and "j" both have dots and look so much alike!
What Can Really Be Called "Juice"?
In Japan, there is a rule for drinks in cartons and bottles. A drink can only have "Juice" written on it if it is 100% real fruit juice!
If it has less juice, it must say something like "Fruit Juice Drink" instead.
Check the juice cartons at your house to see what they say!
Jellyfish Are Not Fish!
In English, a jellyfish is called a jellyfish, but it is not a type of fish at all!
It has no bones and no gills.
People use the word "jelly" because jellyfish are squishy just like jelly.
Almost all of a jellyfish's body is made of water!
How Jet Planes Fly
Jet planes fly through the sky using a jet engine.
The engine sucks in a lot of air from the front and burns it with fuel.
Then, it blasts out hot gas from the back to push the plane forward!
It is just like when you blow up a balloon and let it go. It flies around as the air shoots out!
