Coloring order

Start with the huge purple skirt, and leave the star pattern white or pale yellow so it twinkles.
Then color the silver shoe in her hand, her upswept hair with its tiny crown, and the puffy purple sleeves.
Last, paint the stone bridge and its reflections on the water, the glowing castle and the round lanterns on the ground in yellows.

Questions to talk about

Why do you think she took her shoe off and is holding it?
Who lit all the lanterns in the garden at midnight?
What kind of dance do you want to do when you hear lively music?

Take it further

Dance slowly to quiet music, holding out an imaginary skirt, and freeze like a star in place whenever the music stops.

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.

The black-and-white line art you print and color, with the gown and scenery divided into wide areas.

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.
