Hot Air Balloons, Birds and Clouds: Hard / Detailed Sky Scene

Coloring guide
Three hot air balloons drift across the sky here, and each has its own pattern to color. The big one in front has a row of daisy-style flowers across its middle and a scalloped band near the bottom. Horizontal stripes cover the balloon at upper left, and zigzag chevron lines cover the one at upper right. A woven basket hangs under each. Three small birds flutter between the balloons, and several puffy clouds with bold outlines are scattered around. Stripes, zigzags and flower petals mean plenty of small spaces, so patient colorers who like fine detail will do well with it. Sunny yellow centers with pink and purple petals suit the flowers, and bright blue works for the zigzag balloon. Print it at home for classroom time or a rainy day.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the big balloon: fill the center green panel and the top band with grass green, leaving the flowers white.
- 2Color the large pink panels on both sides of the big balloon and the pink lower sections with bubblegum pink, then the lighter pink flower petals with soft pink.
- 3Fill the left and right balloons with their bands: lemon yellow stripes, bright blue bands, orange and tomato red edges, and the pink and blue zigzags on the right balloon.
- 4Color the three birds (yellow, blue and pink), the clouds in pale blue, and the basket parts in light brown and dark brown.
- 5Use sunny yellow for the flower centers and golden yellow for the small bands near the bottom of the big balloon, keeping the flower petals white.
- 6Optional: add a few darker strokes on the baskets and the bottom edges of the balloons for a little depth.
