Christmas Carousel

About this coloring page

Page 1 of 4 in Cozy Holiday Sparkle, a coloring book about the sparkle of the holiday season — a carousel, a train, cookies and fireworks: a carousel with prancing horses, a striped roof topped with a star, garlands and bows, next to an old street lamp. Snowflakes float in the sky above it. Each page of the book has its own free download.

Printing and coloring tips

Print at 100% on Letter or A4. Plain 80–100 gsm copy paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils; for markers, use thicker paper or put a scrap sheet underneath so the ink doesn't bleed through. Detailed scenes like this one are easier with fine-tip markers or sharpened pencils.

Ideas for this page

• Make the horses white with gold poles and color the saddles in jewel tones.
• Work from the back to the front: color the sky and walls first, then the details on top.
