Areas to color: about 110

Coloring order

Color Gigi's long neck and body light yellow first, then fill the round spots all over with brown or orange.
Alternate green and lime in the striped scarf around her neck, and color the leaves she is nibbling green too.
Finish the leaves and pods on the branch at the upper left, plus the grass and tiny flowers below, in several greens.

Questions to talk about

If Gigi's neck were short, how could she reach the leaves up high?
Who do you think knitted the green scarf for Gigi?
If you suddenly grew very tall, what would you want to try?

Take it further

Tape paper strips end to end to make a neck as long as Gigi's, then hold it up beside you and compare it with your own height.

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.
