For Easter

A coloring hour for Easter

Print the lamb in its basket in Regular and Bold, with a few of the spring flowers beside it. The tulips and blossom suit the whole season, so the same pages carry the table from the first warm day to Easter and past it.

Read the Story Starter once, slowly. Finder or hider, every answer is a good one. Then ask what colors they dyed the eggs, and let the pencils follow.

The lamb, the chick, and the rabbit in the flowers are drawn for adults, with care. There’s not a cartoon among them.

“At an egg hunt, were you the finder or the hider?”

Story Starter for Lamb in an Easter basket. Read it aloud while they color.

How to run it

Three steps, about an hour

Print both versions of the same drawing, Regular and Bold, on plain letter paper.
Hand out a page or two to each person, wherever they are: the table, a lounge chair, a bedside.
Read the Story Starter aloud while they color. Then wait.

Bold has thicker lines and fewer tiny details, easier to see and easier to finish. Everyone colors the same picture.

Questions

Good to know

Will people find it childish?

We draw for adults: gardens, cats, lighthouses, sailboats, teacups. There's not a cartoon in the library.

How do I run a coloring activity?

Print the same drawing in Regular and Bold, and hand pages out wherever people are, even at a bedside. Read the Story Starter once, slowly, then wait longer than feels comfortable. Never correct a memory. Sign and date the ones they're proud of.

Which version should each person get?

Choose by the person and the day. Regular suits a long, quiet sit. Bold has thicker, darker lines and fewer tiny details, so it's easier to see and finish. Same picture either way, so no one gets "the easy page."
