Two Story House With A Garden Path Coloring Page

Ask a child to draw a house and this is roughly what they picture, which is why it belongs near the front of the set. Two floors, six windows divided into four panes each, a paneled front door under a small scalloped porch roof carried on two posts, and a tiled roof with a chimney at each end. Five round bushes sit along the front. What lifts it above the ordinary is the path. It runs from the doorstep straight toward you and off the bottom edge of the page, widening as it comes, laid in two columns of large paving stones. That gives the sheet a real sense of depth, and it hands you fourteen separate slabs to treat however you like. The stones are the best part of this page for an older child. Alternate two shades down the path and it reads as flagstones. Vary every single slab and it reads as crazy paving. Leave them white and the eye still follows them to the door. The roof tiles offer the same trick on a smaller scale higher up. There is enough repeated shape here to keep someone busy for a long sitting without any of the shapes being fiddly.
