What's In This Picture

Start your journey at the log cabin sitting right in the center of the snowy valley. You can see the individual logs and the smoke rising from the chimney. Surrounding the home are tall pine trees and rolling hills covered in soft snow. A clear river winds through the landscape, with several small rocks peeking out from the water. In the distance, mountains rise up to meet the sky. Looking upward, you will find a bright sun peeking out near fluffy clouds, while a large rainbow arcs over the entire scene. Tiny snowflakes are scattered throughout the air, adding a touch of magic to this serene mountain view.

Coloring Tips

To make the snowy landscape look realistic, try using very light shades of blue or purple in the shadows of the hills. The log cabin looks wonderful in warm browns or even a dark cedar red. For the rainbow, try using your brightest markers or pencils to make it stand out against the soft background. You can leave the snowflakes white or give them a tiny hint of silver or glitter. Since the river is moving, using different shades of blue and teal will help show the water's motion around the rocks. The mountains can have dark gray peaks with bright white tops to show where the heaviest snow has fallen.

Did You Know?

Did you know that seeing a rainbow while it is snowing is very rare? This usually happens when the sun is low in the sky and hits ice crystals or rare raindrops in the air. These are sometimes called snowbows or ice bows. It creates a magical, shimmering effect that turns a cold winter day into a colorful spectacle of light and ice.

Try This!

After you finish coloring the cabin, try drawing a little character looking out of the window or a friendly dog waiting on the porch. You could also give this mountain valley a name and write it at the top of your page. Try to count all the snowflakes you can find hidden among the clouds and trees as you color each one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colors should I use for the snow?
While snow is white, adding light blue, pale purple, or even soft grey to the shadows on the hills and mountains makes it look much more three-dimensional.
Is this page good for younger children?
Yes, the moderate line density and clear shapes like the rainbow and sun make it enjoyable for kids ages 6 and up, though younger ones may need help with smaller details.
How should I color the river?
Try using horizontal strokes with different shades of blue. Adding a bit of dark teal near the rocks will help give the water a sense of depth and movement.
For best results, print on standard letter size (8.5" x 11") paper using your printer's "Fit to Page" setting.
