What's In This Picture

You will find a whimsical house with a tall chimney that has soft puffs of smoke drifting into the sky. The house has a friendly door and a window that looks out over a lush landscape. In the foreground, a variety of flowers and bushes are waiting for bright colors. The background features gentle rolling hills that stretch toward the horizon under a bright sun. Across the middle of the scene, the meaningful text Home Is Where Mom Is stands out, inviting you to use your favorite shades to make the letters pop and complete the design.

Coloring Tips

For the house, try using warm tones like butter yellow or a soft peach to make it look inviting. The flowers in the garden can be a rainbow of colors, from deep purples to bright oranges. Since there are rolling hills, using different shades of green can help show depth and distance. You might use a light gray or even a very pale blue for the smoke to keep it looking airy. For the text, consider using a bold, contrasting color so the message is easy to read against the rest of the scenery. Using markers for the letters can help them stand out even more.

Did You Know?

Did you know that the word chimney comes from an old French word meaning fireplace? Chimneys were invented to help keep homes warm and smoke-free inside by pulling the smoke up and out. Today, seeing smoke from a chimney often makes people think of a cozy fire and a warm, happy family gathering indoors during the winter.

Try This!

Once the page is finished, it makes a wonderful gift to surprise a parent with for a birthday or holiday. You could even write a list of your favorite things about your own home on the back of the paper. This page is also a great way to practice staying inside the lines of the letters while learning to read the heart-warming message.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colors should I use for the text?
Bright colors like red, pink, or purple look great on the letters. You could also use a different color for every word to make the message extra cheerful.
How can I make the smoke look more realistic?
Try using a very light touch with a gray crayon or pencil, or leave parts of the smoke white while adding just a little bit of blue or silver around the edges.
Can I add more things to the garden?
Absolutely. You can draw in some extra ladybugs, butterflies, or even a small watering can to make the garden scene look even busier and more fun.
For best results, print on standard letter size (8.5" x 11") paper using your printer's "Fit to Page" setting.
