Hot Cocoa Mug

Nothing says winter quite like this steaming mug of hot cocoa, piled with fluffy marshmallows and a candy cane, with gentle swirls of steam rising and a little cookie resting on the saucer beside it. The objects are clear and chunky, making the page approachable for younger kids, while the swirling steam and the curve of the candy cane give older colorists fun details to shade. Hot chocolate is one of the oldest warm drinks in the world — people have been sipping versions of it for centuries — so this page is a tasty way to celebrate cold-weather comfort. Try a cherry-red candy cane stripe and a warm brown cocoa to make the mug look truly delicious. Leave the marshmallows and steam pale so they read as soft and fluffy. Print it on US Letter or A4 for a snug, snack-time coloring break.
