Coloring order

Start with the sky, clouds and distant hills, then the wooden stage with its flower garlands and draped fabric, coloring the drums and harp brown and cream.
Color Melodrake's body cream, mix violet, peacock teal and rose pink across the layered scales, and fill the harp-string wing membrane in lavender, following the lines.
Make the tuning-fork horns, hooves, the bell on the neck and the hanging bells and wind chimes gold, and leave the curled tail and the flower meadow below for another session.

Questions to talk about

What kind of music do you think Melodrake is dancing to?
Can you find every object in the picture that could make a sound?
If you went up on this stage, which instrument would you like to play?

Take it further

Fill a few glasses with different amounts of water, tap them gently with a spoon to compare the sounds, and make up a short tune for Melodrake to dance to.

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.

About this image

The black-and-white line art you print and color. Closed shapes and medium-weight outlines make it easy to fill with colored pencils.

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.
