Smiling Cocoa Mug with Candy Cane for Winter

Coloring guide
This happy little mug has big sparkly eyes and a tiny smile. It sits on a folded, chunky knit blanket, filled to the brim with fluffy marshmallows. A striped candy cane leans on the rim, and four curly swirls of steam drift up above. On the front of the mug is a detailed snowflake with a small heart on each side, a nice spot for fine-tipped markers. The cross-hatched knit pattern on the blanket makes lots of little sections, so it's good practice for staying inside the lines. Red and white stripes suit the candy cane, and a soft baby blue mug with a darker blue snowflake looks sweet on a cream or gray blanket. Print or download it free for screen-free time at home.
