Sleepy Mushroom Wearing A Nightcap Coloring Page

This mushroom is ready for bed. Its cap rises into a long droopy point topped with a round pompom, half toadstool and half nightcap, and the join between the two is left pleasantly ambiguous. The eyes are closed into two curved lines and the mouth is open in a yawn. Below, the stem swells into a soft rounded body that needs no feet. Bedtime pages have an obvious use, and this one keeps its line count low on purpose so it does not wake anybody up. There are only a handful of regions to fill: the cap, the pompom, the band and the body. A child can finish it in a few minutes at the end of the day. Soft muted colors suit the subject, and this is a good sheet for introducing the idea that quiet colors can carry a mood. Pale blues and dusty purples make it look genuinely sleepy in a way that bright red simply will not.
