Coloring order

Begin with the long dress and overgarment of Miriam dancing with her tambourine. Try a sandy robe with a red sash, as in the reference.
Color the round frame and little jingles of the raised tambourine, then her headscarf, braid and the sash ends swirling as she spins.
Finish with the seashore after crossing the Red Sea: the waves, the sandy beach, the bright sun and the clouds.

Questions to talk about

Why do you think Miriam is dancing so happily?
What sound would her tambourine make?
When have you felt so glad you wanted to sing?

Take it further

Put a spoonful of rice between two paper plates and tape them shut to make a tambourine. After hearing the story in Exodus 15, shake it as you sing together.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
