Three Patterned Bells Tied with a Loopy Christmas Bow

Three decorated Christmas bells hang together in the middle of the page, tipped on their side, with a large loopy bow tied at their top. Each bell is filled with small patterns such as zigzags, swirls, hearts, triangles and scalloped rows, and a round ornament-style clapper with its own pattern hangs from the opening of each one. A sprig of holly with pointed leaves and a cluster of berries sits on the left, and pine branches stretch behind the bow. Four detailed snowflakes fill the corners, each with fine curls and feathery arms. The small patterns suit fine-tip pens, colored pencils or gel pens. Try coloring each bell in a different metallic shade, then use a single color family for the snowflakes so the bells stand out. It is a nice quiet activity for older kids and adults during the holidays.
