Baking Cookies with Love in the Kitchen
Coloring guide
A smiling boy and girl stand side by side at a kitchen counter in aprons over long-sleeved shirts, pressing heart-shaped cutters into a big round of rolled-out dough. The boy has tousled, spiky hair, and the girl wears a high ponytail with wispy bangs. A few heart outlines are already cut into the dough. A tray of heart-shaped cookies waits in the lower left corner, next to a spare cutter and a rolling pin on the counter. Cabinets, a window and a small potted plant fill the background. The dough and cookie tray have lots of open space, so little hands can color them easily. Golden-brown cookies and soft pink aprons give it a sweet bakery feel.
