Confetti Cannon Bursting With Streamers Coloring Page

A tall cylinder stands upright at the bottom of the page and everything above it is motion. Curling ribbons twist upward and outward, stars of several sizes hang in the air around them, and small circles drift across the open space like falling confetti. The cannon itself is drawn plainly, a simple tube with a rim at the top, which keeps the eye on the burst rather than the object. This one rewards a scattered approach. There is no single correct order to work in, and children can jump from one star to another, filling them in whatever shades they like without worrying about matching anything. The ribbons are long and narrow, so they suit a felt tip or a sharpened pencil better than a fat crayon, while the cannon body is wide enough for any tool at all. It suits New Year parties, birthdays and end of term celebrations equally well. Printed on plain paper it also makes a decent sheet to cut the stars out of afterward.
