What's In This Picture

In the center of the image, a large black pot sits on a gentle slope. It is overflowing with round gold coins, some of which have spilled out onto the grass. A beautiful rainbow curves gracefully from behind a fluffy cloud, ending right inside the pot of gold. The background features soft, rolling hills that stretch into the distance under a clear sky.

Small shamrocks are dotted throughout the foreground, adding detail to the grassy landscape. Two large, puffy clouds anchor the ends of the rainbow, giving the whole scene a soft and friendly cartoon feel. The lines are clear and easy to follow, making it simple to distinguish between the metallic coins, the natural plants, and the magical weather elements.

Coloring Tips

For the gold coins, try using a bright yellow base and then adding a touch of orange or metallic gold crayon around the edges to give them a 3D look. The rainbow is the perfect place to practice your color order, moving from red on the outside to violet on the inside. You can even leave the clouds white and just add a tiny bit of light blue shading at the bottom to make them look extra fluffy.

To make the hills look more interesting, use a few different shades of green. Use a darker green for the shamrocks so they stand out against the lighter green of the rolling hills. If you have glitter glue, a tiny dot on each coin can make the treasure look like it is truly sparkling in the sunlight. This page has a moderate level of detail, so taking your time with the smaller coins will yield a great result.

Did You Know?

Did you know that according to Irish legend, leprechauns are the ones who hide their pots of gold at the end of rainbows? They are said to be very tricky, and even if you find their treasure, it might disappear if you look away for even a second. Real rainbows are actually full circles, but we usually only see the top half from the ground.

Try This!

After you finish coloring, try counting all the gold coins you can see in the pot and on the ground. You could also draw a tiny leprechaun hiding behind one of the clouds or peeking out from behind a hill. For a fun game, cut out your finished pot of gold and hide it somewhere in the house for a family member to find by following a trail of paper shamrocks.
