Ideas for coloring christmas
Let the paper be the snowOn the snowy cabin, color only the sky and the cabin and leave the ground white, so the snow shows up on its own.
Start with the lightsOn the cat tangled in Christmas lights, color the bulbs first, then decide what color the cat is.
A white gel pen for sparkleColor the night sky behind Santa's chimney dark, then dot snowflakes and twinkles on top with a white gel pen.
Crayon resist in the snow globeTrace the snowflakes inside the globe with a white crayon, then brush thin watercolor over them. The wax keeps the flakes white.
Two colors for the patternsThe rug under the cat, the peppermints on the candy path and the penguins' scarves already have stripes and swirls. Pick two colors and take turns with them.
Coloring onlineTap an area to fill it, zoom in for the small baubles and lights, and switch to Simple for twelve colors and a brush that stays inside the lines.
