What's In This Picture

As you look across the page, your eyes will find a massive bridge spanning across a wide river. Small cars are making their way across the bridge, while a little boat glides through the water below. Along the riverbanks, you will see a mix of tall buildings, cozy houses, and even a church steeple peeking out from behind the trees.

Up in the sky, a smiling sun shines brightly next to fluffy clouds, watching over the helicopter as it makes its journey. Every corner of this drawing is filled with small details, from the windows on the skyscrapers to the tiny leaves on the trees, making it a fun treasure hunt for your crayons.

Coloring Tips

Since this is a bustling city, you can use a wide variety of bright colors to make the scene pop. For the helicopter, try using a bold primary color like red or yellow so it stands out against the blue sky. The river looks great with different shades of blue and teal to show movement in the water.

When coloring the buildings, you don't have to stick to gray. Try using soft pastels or even bright oranges and purples to give the city a unique, artistic look. If you want to add some texture, use a light touch for the clouds and a firmer hand for the solid walls of the houses and the sturdy metal of the bridge.

Did You Know?

Did you know that some helicopters are used as air ambulances to help people get to the hospital very quickly? Because they can take off and land straight up and down, they don't need a long runway like an airplane does. This makes them perfect for busy cities where there isn't much open space!

Try This!

After you finish coloring, try to count all the windows you see on the tallest building. You can also make up a story about where the people in the cars are going or what the pilot in the helicopter is looking for today. Maybe they are looking for a park to land in for a lunch break!
