What's In This Picture

As you look closer at the scene, you will find a busy shop filled with wonderful details. The fox baker holds a large tray of pastries including muffins and rolls. On the shelves behind him, you can spot tall bread loaves and a beautifully decorated cake. The cash register sits on the counter next to a leafy potted plant. Looking through the large arched window, the famous Eiffel Tower rises into a sky dotted with soft clouds. Outside, a cobblestone street is lined with elegant street lamps and a lush bush. Every part of this Parisian morning is waiting for a splash of color, from the tiny details on the pastries to the stones on the street outside.

Coloring Tips

To make the fox baker stand out, try using a vibrant burnt orange or soft ginger color for his fur. You can keep his chef hat and apron crisp white or add some light grey shadows to give them depth. For the croissants and cinnamon rolls, warm shades of honey gold and tan will make them look perfectly baked. The Eiffel Tower looks lovely in a soft metallic grey or even a light blue to show distance. Consider using a variety of brown tones for the bakery counter and wooden shelves to create a rustic, cozy feel inside the shop. Using different shades of grey for the cobblestone street adds a nice texture to the background.

Did You Know?

Did you know that the Eiffel Tower was originally intended to be a temporary structure? It was built for the 1889 World's Fair and was only supposed to stand for twenty years. People loved it so much that it became the most famous symbol of France. Just like our fox baker makes his shop special, this tower makes the city of Paris recognizable to people all over the world.

Try This!

After you finish coloring, you could try drawing your own favorite treat on a separate piece of paper to add to the baker's collection. Maybe you can give the fox baker a name and write it on the front of the bakery counter. You could also try to count how many different types of pastries and bread you can find throughout the whole picture.
