Coloring order
- Begin with the wide stone steps under the Parthenon in pale beige, changing the shade a tiny bit from step to step.
- Color the long row of columns along the side one by one, and fill the dark gaps between them with deep gray-brown.
- Last, carefully color the carved decoration inside the triangular gable at the top and the band above the columns with a fine pencil.
Questions to talk about
- Why do you think so many columns were set in a row like this?
- If you played hide-and-seek between the columns, where would you hide?
- Have you ever seen something very old? What did it look like?
Take it further
Cut paper tubes or straws to the same length, stand them in a row, and rest thick paper on top to build a small temple with columns.
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.

- The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
