Looking closely at the page, you'll see a large cup sitting on a matching saucer. Soft swirls of steam drift upward from the top to show how warm and inviting the scene is. Inside the cup, a small frog sits happily on one of the many lily pads. There are tall cattails and a small tree growing right out of the water. A small wooden dock with round dock posts sits on the surface too. Every part of this drawing invites your child to imagine a tiny world where nature fits right in their hands. The lines are clear and easy to follow, making it fun to see the picture come to life with every new color you add.

Your kiddo can start by choosing a favorite color for the cup and saucer to make them stand out. Using a light blue or a soft green for the water will make the lily pads and the frog really pop. The steam can be left white or colored with a very faint purple or grey to give it a misty look. Since there are several small parts like the dock posts and the tree branches, using sharp colored pencils might be easier than chunky crayons. If your child wants to try a challenge, they can add little ripples in the water around the frog's leaf. You could even try using some glitter glue on the water to make it look like the pond is sparkling in the sun.
