What's In This Picture
As you look at this page, you will notice a large hot air balloon with a big, happy face that serves as the main focal point. Below the balloon, a small, cute bear peeks out from a woven basket, enjoying the view from high above. The sky is filled with several fluffy clouds that look soft and inviting for a bit of shading. Scattered throughout the scene are five-pointed stars that add a touch of magic to the nighttime setting. Every element, from the stripes on the balloon to the bear's happy expression, is designed with clean lines that make it easy to stay within the borders while adding your own personal touch.
Coloring Tips
For the smiling hot air balloon, you might want to use bright, alternating colors like cherry red and sunny yellow to make the stripes pop. The bear would look wonderful in a warm shade of chocolate brown or a soft tan, while his little nose could be a tiny dot of pink. Since the scene takes place among the stars, you can use light blues or even a deep purple for the sky area around the clouds. Leaving the clouds a very pale blue or lavender can give them a soft, airy feel. If you have glitter pens, the stars are the perfect place to add some sparkle. Try using different pressures with your crayons to create gradients in the sky for a more sunset or midnight look.
Did You Know?
Did you know that the very first hot air balloon passengers were actually a sheep, a duck, and a rooster? They took a flight in France back in 1783 before humans ever tried it. Just like the bear in our picture, these brave animals paved the way for people to explore the sky from a basket.
Try This!
After finishing the coloring, you can try naming the bear and the balloon to give them their own story. You could also draw more stars or perhaps a tiny airplane in the background to expand the scene. Another fun idea is to count all the stars you colored and write the number at the bottom of the page.
