Bamboo Forest With Sunlight Filtering Through Stalks Coloring Page
Tall bamboo stalks stand shoulder to shoulder across this easy page, each one hollow and open inside, with a bright gap down the middle.

Bamboo fills this page from edge to edge. The stalks run almost straight up and down, a few of them leaning, and every one is divided into sections by a ring at each joint, so a single stalk gives you a column of separate boxes to fill. Clusters of long pointed leaves branch off at those joints and spread into the spaces between. Down the middle the stalks thin out and step back, leaving a tall bright channel of open paper where light comes through the grove. Along the bottom a low bank of rounded leaves runs the full width.
Outlines are thick and unbroken, and nothing inside them is shaded, so this suits younger hands despite how much sits on the page. One good trick is to fill every other stalk and leave its neighbors white, which pulls the front row forward without any blending at all. The leaf clusters are small enough to reward a fine tip pen if you want them to read apart from the stalks behind. Keep that middle channel pale, or leave it as bare paper, so the sense of light survives.
