Coloring order

Color the sections of Ballo's round balloon in vertical stripes, alternating purple, sky blue, yellow and red from the middle outward.
Carefully color the big eyes and the smile in the center of the balloon so they stand out from the stripes around them.
Color the basket below in two browns, following its woven pattern, and the thin ropes holding it up.

Questions to talk about

What is the first thing you would see as Ballo floats up?
If you could take just one thing in Ballo's basket, what would it be?
Tell me about a windy day. What did you feel outside?

Take it further

Draw a big balloon shape on paper, cut it out, glue a different colored paper on each stripe, and hang a tiny paper basket below.

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.
