Winter Reading Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The snow day story is the indoor side of winter, and the page draws it the way a child remembers it: a cozy child wrapped in a patchwork blanket, curled in a big armchair with a book open, an arched window beside them with snowflakes falling outside, a mug on a little table and a cat asleep on the rug.
The armchair is one big soft shape for a toddler to fill, the blanket is a grid of squares to colour one at a time for whoever wants the careful part, and the window is two tall panes with snowflakes to dot in. The cat is one curled shape and the mug is one small cup with a heart on it.
Ask what the book is about and what is in the mug. Then fetch a real blanket and a real book, and the page becomes the afternoon a child wants every time the snow starts.
Skills Practiced
How to Use This Coloring Page
- Fill the armchair first. One big soft shape, one colour. The rug underneath can be a second one.
- Blanket squares next. One colour per square, or a pattern of two. This is the careful part.
- Window, mug and cat last. Snowflakes dotted in the window, the mug on the table, the sleeping cat. Ask what it is dreaming.
