Bow-Tied Ornament Dangling From a Pine Branch

A round ball ornament hangs from a pine branch by a loop of ribbon, with a big bow tied at the top of the ball. The branch curves across the page in thick black, with long, thin needles drawn as open outlines, so there is plenty of room to color each one. The ornament has a wide band across the middle decorated with three star shapes. The center star has six points, and the two stars on the sides are narrower and look like tall sparkles. Above and below the band, the ball is left plain, which makes it easy to try patterns like stripes, dots, or zigzags. Kids could color the needles in two shades of green and then pick a bright color for the bow so it stands out. It's a good page for practicing small, careful strokes, and you can print it free as many times as you like.
