Coloring order

Color the baby reindeer's body and thin legs a warm brown first, keeping the chest and tail tip a light cream.
Next, do the little antlers, the bell on its collar, and the round nose. Try a red nose and a gold bell like the color reference.
Save the sleigh at right with its presents and bows, the fir trees behind, and the snowflakes for last. Leave the snow on the trees white.

Questions to talk about

Who might the baby reindeer be taking the presents to?
What sounds might you hear in a snowy forest of fir trees?
What games have you played outside on a snowy day?

Take it further

Think of the bell on the Christmas baby reindeer's collar, then shake a small bell or a bunch of keys and listen. Move to the sound like a reindeer: tiptoe softly, then bounce and hop.

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.
