As you look at the page, you will notice the teacher at the center, focused on the story. The children are sitting cross-legged on a large rug, their faces full of wonder. Every child has a unique expression as they listen to the tale unfolding from the pages of the book.

In the background, a sturdy bookshelf is packed with rows of books and a few sets of blocks for playtime. A simple window frame on the wall lets you imagine the sunny day outside while the group enjoys their quiet time together. There is even a small chair for the teacher that keeps her comfortable while she teaches her students.

To make this classroom feel lively, try using bright primary colors for the blocks and the spines of the books on the shelf. The rug can be a solid color or you could add your own patterns like stripes or polka dots to make it look extra cozy. Using a light blue for the space inside the window frame can suggest a clear sky outside.

Since the teacher and children are the stars of the page, using a variety of skin tones and hair colors will make the group look diverse and realistic. You might even want to draw a small picture on the open pages of the book to show what story they are reading. Soft shading on the wall can help the foreground characters pop out more.
