Nutcracker Soldier On A Fireplace Mantel

A nutcracker soldier stands centered on a fireplace mantel, wearing a tall decorated hat, shoulder epaulettes, a buttoned jacket, belt, tall boots, and a long beard beneath a curled mustache. Two lit candles in holders sit on either side, and a small pine sprig with round berries rests near the right candle. Below the mantel is an arched brick fireplace with logs and a flame inside. The clear outlines make this printable page easy for children to color while noticing symmetry, shapes, and details. Try asking kids to count the buttons, bricks, candle flames, and berries before choosing colors for each part of the scene.
