What's In This Picture

Inside the large hollowed-out tree, you will find several wooden bookshelves packed with books of all sizes. A tiny set of stairs leads up to the higher levels, where a fairy is busy choosing a new tale. A glowing lantern hangs near the entrance to light up the cozy room for the readers.

Outside the tree, the ground is covered in soft grass, bushes, and a few spotted mushrooms. A large acorn sits near the base, while a bright flower and a single leaf add detail to the forest floor. The fairies themselves have beautiful wings and are surrounded by the natural textures of the bark and the greenery of the surrounding woods.

Coloring Tips

Use earthy browns for the tree bark and the bookshelves to make the library feel warm and grounded. You can use bright, shimmering colors for the fairy wings to make them stand out against the wooden background. For the books, try using a variety of different colors on the spines to show how many different stories are kept here.

The lantern looks great with a pale yellow or orange glow in the center. For the mushrooms and flowers, choose bold reds or purples to add pops of color to the forest floor. Soft greens for the grass and bushes will complete the peaceful woodland look. If you have metallic markers, they are excellent for adding a touch of magic to the fairy wings or the lantern light.

Did You Know?

Did you know that some people believe fairies live in fairy rings made of mushrooms? In many stories, fairies are known as the guardians of nature. They are said to take care of the plants and animals in the forest, making sure everything grows strong and healthy while they enjoy their secret woodland libraries.

Try This!

After you finish coloring, you could try writing a short story about what the fairies are reading today. You might even want to go outside and look for your own fairy door at the base of a real tree in your neighborhood or local park.
