Reindeer in a Cozy Scarf

A friendly cartoon reindeer with big antlers and a patterned knitted scarf stands in the snow, with little fir trees and bushes behind it. The shapes are large and the outlines thick, except for the small pattern on the scarf, so younger children can color most of it on their own.

Use a warm brown for the coat, a light beige for the face and belly, and a bright red or green scarf: alternate two colors on its stripes. Leave the snow white or shade it lightly with pale blue.

Use a light gray or pale blue for snow shadows: it makes white areas look three-dimensional.

Red and green side by side can look flat; add gold or a warm yellow to lights and stars to make the page glow.
