Kids Sitting On Blanket Watching Fireworks Sparkle Coloring Page

Four children sit shoulder to shoulder on a picnic blanket spread over the grass, and every one of them is drawn from behind. You see four heads of hair, four backs, and nothing else, because they are all looking up. Above them five fireworks open in the sky, the nearest one big and dark, the others smaller and progressively fainter toward the edges. The blanket is drawn flat and simple with a soft fold along its near edge, and tufts of grass sprout around it.

Drawing the children from behind is the smartest thing about this sheet. There are no faces to get wrong, so a child who finds people difficult can color four of them without a single frustrating moment, and the whole page still reads as a shared moment.

The blanket is one big open area and the obvious place to put a pattern of your own.

The bang arrives after the flash because sound travels about a mile every five seconds. Counting the gap tells you how far away the display is, which is a good thing to give a child to do between shells.
