Fireplace Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The fireplace is the warm spot a child sits in front of after the snow, and the page draws it the way they picture it: a brick fireplace with a crackling fire inside, logs stacked at the bottom, a cat curled up asleep on a round rug in front, a mug and a small plant on the mantel and a picture hanging above.
The fireplace is a set of rectangles inside rectangles, the easiest shapes on the shelf for a toddler to fill, and the flames are the wavy careful part in the middle. The rug is one big oval with a fringe round the edge, and the cat on top of it is one soft curled shape with a tail.
Ask what is in the mug and who the cat is dreaming about. Then ask what picture should go in the empty frame and let the child draw it, and the page becomes the room they would most like to be in.
Skills Practiced
How to Use This Coloring Page
- Bricks first. The rectangles round the opening, one colour or a pattern of two. Count them along the top.
- Flames next. The wavy shapes in the middle, bright and careful. The logs underneath can stay plain.
- Rug and cat last. One big oval, one curled cat. Then draw something in the empty picture frame above the mantel.
