Crackling Fireplace

Picture a snug room on a cold evening and you have this crackling-fireplace coloring page. A brick fireplace holds a glowing fire over stacked logs, while a wooden mantel above carries a small clock and two candlesticks. A pair of stockings hangs from the mantel, and a couple of spare logs are piled on the hearth. Part of our cozy collection, it is built for warm, slow coloring with plenty to fill in. The brickwork and stacked logs invite patient, repeating work, while the fire and stockings are great for bold, bright color — making it suit both kids and older colorers. A real fire crackles because pockets of sap and moisture inside the wood heat up and pop. Warm reds, oranges and yellows bring the flames to life. Print it on US Letter or A4 and light up the hearth with color.
