Areas to color: about 160

Coloring order

Begin with the body of the tallest tower in the middle of Wat Arun, shifting between pale beige and gray from layer to layer.
Color the four smaller towers around it and the steps below in the same family of colors so that the heights are easy to tell apart.
Choose just two or three colors, like green and pink, for the tiny layered patterns and fill every other tiny space, then color the pointed tip gold.

Questions to talk about

How are the middle tower and the smaller towers alike, and how do they differ?
This place is also called the 'Temple of the Dawn.' What color is the sky at dawn?
Have you ever climbed steep steps? What could you see at the top?

Take it further

Cut several pointed paper triangles and glue them in layers from biggest to smallest to make a tower. Then add four small towers around the tallest one.

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

The black-and-white line art you print and color, drawn so the structure of the building reads clearly.

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.
