Activity guide for this page

Recommended age: Ages 7–10
Estimated time: 35–50 min
Difficulty: Medium
Areas to color: about 290

Coloring order

Begin with the wide sky and lake behind the princess, using two light blues over the large areas.
Then color her green overdress and cream skirt, her long brown braid and the small white flowers in her hair.
Last, color the castle on the hill across the lake, the stone bridge, the flock of swans in the sky, and the arched window and ivy on the tower wall.

Questions to talk about

Who do you think the cloth she is weaving is for?
What will the swans see when they fly across the lake to the castle?
Have you ever made something with great care for someone?

Take it further

Cut out several paper birds and stick them on a wall in a V shape. Name the lead bird and tell where the flock is headed.

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.
