Stopwatch And A Whistle Coloring Page

Every match runs on these two objects. The stopwatch dominates the left of the page, drawn large, with twelve tick marks around its face, a single slim hand and a crown button on top flanked by two smaller buttons. The whistle sits to the right, much smaller, with its hanging ring drawn clearly. Scale is the lesson here. The watch takes four or five times the area of the whistle, so whatever shade goes on the watch sets the mood of the whole sheet, and the whistle becomes an accent. A bright watch with a dark whistle feels like a school sports day. Reverse it and the page feels like a serious referee's kit. Leave the dial face white and color only the rim, which is how real stopwatches look and keeps the tick marks readable. The ground line runs the full width behind both objects and can stay unfilled, or take a single light pass to sit them in a space. Children who are learning to tell time enjoy this one, because the dial is large enough to count around out loud.
