Coloring order

Start with the navy robe and cream underskirt, then continue with the teal cloth that drapes from her shoulder over them.
Next, color the row of diamond patterns down the middle of the robe, the tassels at the hem and the star-shaped lantern she lifts high.
Last, add the mosaic fountain and palm trees, the lanterns hanging from the arch, the tiled floor and the crescent moon and stars.

Questions to talk about

How far do you think the light from her star lantern can reach?
How many stars could you see in a desert night sky?
How would a traveler feel on first seeing an oasis?

Take it further

Have a grown-up poke a few small holes in a paper cup, put a flashlight inside, and watch the starlight spread across a dark wall.

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.
