This season

A coloring hour for Winter

The weeks after the holidays are long. Print the snowy cottage in Regular and Bold and make it a standing hour: same day, same table, a new drawing each week.

Read the Story Starter once. Snow lovers and snow haters both have an answer, and a little friendly disagreement is half the fun.

First Snow needs no holiday. Pass around a pair of wool mittens or a knitted scarf while they color, and let the weather do the talking.

“Did you like snow days, or were you glad when it melted?”
Story Starter for Snowy cottage. Read it aloud while they color.
How to run it

Three steps, about an hour

  1. Print both versions of the same drawing, Regular and Bold, on plain letter paper.
  2. Hand out a page or two to each person, wherever they are: the table, a lounge chair, a bedside.
  3. 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

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."

When do new pages arrive?

On the 1st of each month, in time for next month's calendar. One email that morning lists what's new.
