What's In This Picture

Looking at this picture, the first thing you notice is the friendly house right in the center. It has a tall roof with a chimney on top and several windows that look out over the yard. A small set of steps leads up to the front door, making it look very inviting. A classic picket fence runs along the front, with a little mailbox standing guard near the entrance.

The yard is full of life, featuring soft grass, rounded bushes, and several pretty flowers reaching for the sun. To one side, a leafy tree provides a bit of shade. Above the house, a few fluffy clouds float in the sky, completing this peaceful suburban scene.

Coloring Tips

For the house, you might choose a bright yellow or a soft blue to make it stand out against the green grass. Using a darker shade for the roof helps give the building some weight. When coloring the flowers, try using your brightest pinks, reds, or purples to make them pop against the green bushes.

The picket fence looks great in a crisp light grey or a very pale tan if you want a natural wood look. For the clouds, adding a tiny bit of light blue around the edges can make them look extra fluffy. Since the lines are clear and easy to follow, using markers for the small details like the mailbox and crayons for the larger areas like the sky works perfectly.

Did You Know?

Did you know that many mailboxes in the United States have a little red flag on the side? When the flag is up, it tells the mail carrier that there is a letter inside waiting to be picked up and delivered!

Try This!

After coloring, you can write a tiny pretend letter to put inside the mailbox. You could also draw a family or some pets in the windows to show who lives in this cozy home.
