A small cabin sits under a thick blanket of snow with smoke curling up from a stone chimney, warm light showing in two windows, and a path cleared to the front door. Snow-laden fir trees stand on either side and a few flakes drift down across the scene. The shapes are bold and generously sized with little fussy detail, making this a comfortable page for children from around four upward.
The windows are the whole trick on this page. Color them a strong yellow-orange and keep everything else cool, blues and grays in the snow, deep green in the firs, and the cabin will instantly look warm and inviting. It is a simple lesson in contrast that young children pick up immediately once you show them.
Leave the smoke as bare paper. Coloring smoke gray almost always makes it look solid, whereas empty paper with a light touch of blue around the outside reads as smoke every time.
That plume is more visible in winter for a real reason. Cold air holds much less moisture, so the water vapor in the smoke condenses into visible droplets almost as soon as it leaves the chimney.
