Carousel Horse in a Swirly Frame With Balloons and Banners coloring page

Coloring guide

A decorated carousel horse fills the middle of the page, set inside a big round frame with a scalloped, swirly edge. The horse has a flowing mane, a curled tail, a bridle and a saddle with dotted trim, little bells and tulip-like shapes along its blanket. One front hoof is raised, and a tall curly pole rises behind its head. Below the horse, a wooden plank walkway leads to an open mouth with teeth. A big eye sits behind the horse, and the whole scene looks a bit dreamlike. Triangle bunting and two balloons hang across the top, with a small striped circus tent, a tiny penny-farthing style wheel and cloud shapes around the edges. The free printable page has lots of small patterns, so it suits kids who like detail work. Try picking a different color family for each pattern band on the saddle blanket, then repeat those colors in the bunting so the page feels like one set.
