Activity guide for this page

Recommended age: Ages 8–12
Estimated time: 45–60 min
Difficulty: Challenging
Areas to color: about 390

Coloring order

Begin with the large areas around the fountain and the tiled courtyard floor, in sandy tones and teal.
Color the star-shaped lantern she raises in golden yellow, then the teal cloth and diamond-patterned band of her robe, and her long hair.
Last, add the lanterns hanging from the arch, the palm trees, the domed buildings far away, and the crescent moon and stars.

Questions to talk about

Where do you think the princess found her star lantern?
How would it feel to hear a fountain splash in the desert?
Which star would you look for first in the night sky?

Take it further

Draw a row of diamonds on grid paper and color them in two or three alternating colors to make your own patterned band for a robe.

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

A reference showing the colors of the gown and the castle. Follow it or choose your own. It sits on the left page of a spread.

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.
