Plate Of Diwali Sweets Coloring Page

A large round plate fills this page, drawn from directly above so everything on it reads flat and clear. Two thin rings mark the rim, and inside them sit seven sweets: three plain circles on the left and four squares scattered across the right, one of them carrying a single curved line across its face. The circles are ladoos, which are rolled by hand and come out round, and the squares are burfi, which is set in a tray and cut, which is why one set is round and the other is not. That contrast is the reason the page works. Seven shapes, two kinds, nothing overlapping and nothing shaded, which gives you a small sorting problem before a single crayon comes out. Most children color the ladoos alike and then treat the burfi as four separate decisions. Boxes of sweets like these are handed between neighbors all through Diwali week, so the plate on this sheet is a gift in progress rather than a dessert. The wide empty rim is worth decorating if the sweets go quickly.
