What's In This Picture
Looking closely at this page, you will find a sturdy ladder leading up to the main house and a long, curved slide for a quick exit. A wooden swing hangs from a thick branch, ready for a gentle breeze. Below the tree, a winding path leads through patches of soft grass and tall flowers.
You will also spot several cute mushrooms growing near the roots, while fluffy clouds drift past the happy sun in the sky. The tree itself is covered in many individual leaves that provide a great opportunity to practice staying inside the lines. Butterflies are scattered around the garden, adding a sense of movement to the peaceful scene.
Coloring Tips
Try using a rich brown for the tree trunk and a bright, leafy green for the canopy. The treehouse itself looks wonderful in vibrant shades like cherry red or sunny yellow to make it stand out from the foliage. For the mushrooms, you might use red with white spots or even purple for a more magical feel.
Soft blues work well for the sky, while the winding path can be filled with a light tan or grey to look like stone or sand. If you want to add a bit of extra detail, use a darker shade of green to add shadows under the tree or around the base of the flowers. This will help make the objects look like they are popping off the page.
Did You Know?
Did you know that some people actually live in treehouses full-time? There are even hotels built entirely in the tops of trees! Trees are incredibly strong and can support heavy structures as long as the builders are careful not to hurt the trunk or branches while they are building.
Try This!
After coloring, you could draw your favorite animals hiding among the leaves or sitting on the swing. You might also want to give your treehouse a name and write it on a small sign above the door. If you have extra paper, try drawing what the inside of the treehouse looks like.
