Coloring order

Color the plump part of the drumstick light golden brown first, then add deeper brown around the edges for a crisp look.
Use white or very pale gray lines for the paper frill wrapped around the bone end.
Color the round plate ivory, and draw a pink-and-white checked cloth in the empty space around it to finish.

Questions to talk about

What does the white frill at the end of the drumstick remind you of?
On what special day would this plate be on the table?
Can you remember a day when something smelled really delicious? Where were you?

Take it further

Cut thin fringes along a strip of white paper and roll it into a frill for play parties. Does it look like the one on the drumstick?

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.
