Winter Hat Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The winter hat is the thing a child is bundled into before every snow day, the big knitted one with the bobble on top, and the page draws the moment after: a happy child with the hat pulled right down, a long scarf wrapped round and trailing off to one side, snowflakes falling and a few small fir trees on the hill behind.
The hat is the page's big shape, a wide dome with a band of stripes and zigzags round the brim for whoever wants the careful part, and the bobble on top is one round circle. The scarf is a long soft band with fringe at the end, the one place a toddler can scribble stripes without anyone minding.
Ask what the child is about to do out there and whether the hat matches the scarf. Then go and find the real hat, and the page becomes the getting-dressed routine before the first snow day.
Skills Practiced
How to Use This Coloring Page
- Fill the hat first. The big dome in one colour, then a different colour for the bobble on top.
- Stripe the brim. The band of zigzags and lines round the bottom of the hat is the careful part. One colour per stripe.
- Scarf last, as many stripes as you like. A long band with fringe at the end. Ask whether it should match the hat or not.
