Giant Donut With a Child Coloring Page

Scale is the joke on this page. A ring donut stands upright on the ground, as tall as a person and nearly as wide as the sheet, with a wavy glaze edge and large sprinkles spread across it. In front of it stands a child, seen from behind, with both arms thrown straight up above their head. Their hands are drawn open with the fingers spread, their hair is a rounded shape drawn with short strokes, and they wear a plain shirt, long trousers and simple shoes. One long ground line runs right across the page behind them. Because the child faces away, there is no face to color, which is a relief for anyone who finds small features frustrating. What you get instead is a set of large clean areas. The shirt, the trousers, the hair and the shoes are each one closed shape, and the donut behind is the biggest shape on the sheet. That balance suits a group. One child can take the figure while another takes the donut. Ask which one they would rather color and you usually learn something about how they think about size.
