What's In This Picture
As you look at this page, your eyes might first land on the large owl hot air balloon carrying the bear and rabbit in its basket. They are surrounded by smaller balloons and fluffy clouds. Down on the ground, a river flows under a bridge where a train is chugging along. You can see a fish jumping out of the water near the rolling hills.
Scattered throughout the valley are cozy houses, tall trees, and patches of flowers and mushrooms. Look closely to find a stack of teacups with flowers growing inside them, adding a touch of magic to the scenery. Every corner of this drawing has something small and sweet to find, like the smiling faces on the celestial friends in the sky.
Coloring Tips
Since this is a whimsical scene, you can use very bright and unusual colors. The owl hot air balloon would look wonderful with patterned wings in shades of purple or orange. For the rolling hills, try using different shades of green to show depth, or maybe even pink and lilac for a fantasy feel.
The river can be a classic blue, but adding little sparkles of yellow or gold can make it look like it is reflecting the sun. Because there are many small elements like the mushrooms and flowers, using fine-tip markers or sharpened colored pencils will help you stay inside the lines. You might even want to use a glitter pen for the stars or the water to make the whole scene feel even more magical.
Did You Know?
Did you know that the first hot air balloon passengers were actually animals? In 1783, a sheep, a duck, and a rooster went on a flight in France to see if it was safe for people to fly. They stayed in the air for about eight minutes and landed safely. Just like the bear and rabbit on this page, those brave animals were the very first sky travelers.
Try This!
After you finish coloring the owl hot air balloon, try making up a story about where the bear and rabbit are going. You could also play a game of I-spy with a friend or parent to see who can find the fish or the teacups first. Another fun idea is to draw more tiny houses or extra clouds in the empty spaces of the sky to expand the world.
