These 35 new sheets follow the fairies into the woods: one mends a spiderweb, one runs a mushroom market, one sleeps inside a blossom, one sails a paper boat, and one dances in a ring of toadstools. The scenes use clear outlines and open shapes, so they work for younger children and patient colorists alike. Each one prints as a PDF in A4.
A winged fairy in a petal dress holds a needle and a spool of thread while she stitches a torn spiderweb between two leafy stems. Children colour the fairy, her wings, the web and the surrounding leaves.
Two winged fairies with baskets stand between market stalls roofed with spotted mushroom caps, filled with strawberries, flower pots and little jars. Children colour the berries, blossoms and dotted caps in as many shades as they like.
A small fairy with long wavy hair and butterfly wings sleeps curled up inside the petals of a large open flower on a leafy stem. Children can colour the petals, the wings and the leaves in any shades they like.
A smiling fairy with big wings paddles a folded paper boat across a rippling stream, framed by leaves, grasses and small flowers. Children can colour the water, the petal skirt and every blossom along the bank.
Nine spotted toadstools stand in a circle with grass tufts and daisies, and a trail of tiny bare footprints crosses the middle. Children colour the caps, spots and stalks and follow the footprints through the ring.
A fairy with a hair bun and veined wings tops an acorn-patterned cupcake with a spoon inside a mushroom-cap kitchen. A stone oven with three more cupcakes, a flour sack, a rolling pin and a snail at the round window fill the scene. The stone oven’s brick pattern suits several shades of gray and brown. A smiling fairy with a flower in her hair steers a big-eyed ladybug by two reins as it crosses a curved leaf bridge above a rippling stream. Two dragonflies hover overhead, and tall ferns and stepping stones frame the scene. Standing on a big veined leaf, a fairy with a hair bun and a petal skirt dabs a paintbrush at the wing of a smiling butterfly. The butterfly perches on a large daisy-like flower, and loose petals drift around them. The wing’s large open spots and swirls are easy to fill with bold color. Under a crescent moon and five stars, a flying fairy reaches up to tie a striped paper lantern to an oak branch, while a second lantern hangs below. Three glowing fireflies, a winding stepping-stone path and a few mushrooms fill the forest around her. The lantern stripes and leafy bushes offer many small areas, so this one rewards a steady hand. A small fairy with a flower in her hair waves from the round doorway of a hollow oak, its plank door swung open beside her. A rope ladder leans on the trunk, two round windows and a striped chimney sit above, and mushrooms, flowers and stepping stones fill the ground. The bark and leaf canopy hold plenty of fine detail, so this one suits patient coloring. A smiling fairy with a hair bun and pointed ears sits on the rim of a big teacup and holds a small five-petal flower. Two curly steam lines rise beside her, and a spoon leans on the cup, which stands on a saucer. The large plain cup and saucer are easy to color, and the wings have only a few thin veins. A fairy with a flower in her hair rides a big-eyed dragonfly above a pond, while a spotted frog on a lily pad looks up with its mouth wide open. Cattails, a water lily, two more lily pads and a puffy cloud complete the scene. The dragonfly’s striped tail and veined wings hold fine detail, but the frog and lily pads are big, open shapes. Gliding on one skate with the other leg raised, a fairy with a hair bun holds a large snowflake against her side. Her fur-trimmed boots, cuffs and collar, the leaf-cut skirt and the diamond-patterned wings stand out against the frozen pond. Snow-laden pine branches and three small snowflakes frame the scene. The fur trim and wing panels are small areas, while the ice and snowdrifts are wide and op An acorn-capped fairy in a leaf dress sweeps a pile of maple and oak leaves with a twig broom while a squirrel watches from a tree stump. A small mushroom, grass tufts and falling leaves fill the corners. The scaly acorn cap and the broom bristles are fine detail, while the stump and mushroom are big, open shapes. Three tiny fairies ride dandelion seeds through the air beside a tall puffball, while a larger barefoot fairy with a flower in her hair holds the stem. Swirling wind lines, two loose seeds, a toothed leaf and grass tufts fill the rest of the page. The puffball’s many starburst seeds are fine detail, while the petal skirt and wings are bigger shapes. A smiling fairy sits on a stack of three thick books, reading an open book while holding a magnifying glass, with a round-eyed owl perched beside her. A gnarled tree with a hollow trunk rises behind them, and five flowers and grass tufts fill the corners. The tree bark and feathered owl chest have fine lines, while the book spines and flowers are big and easy to color. A laughing barefoot fairy with a flower in her wavy hair swings on two ivy-wrapped vines hanging from a curved branch, where a small songbird perches. A large five-petal blossom, bushes, rolling hills and grass tufts fill the foreground, and the ivy leaves are small, so they take patient coloring. In the rain, a barefoot fairy with a hair bun holds a big veined leaf over herself and a smiling hedgehog standing upright beside her. Raindrops fall around them, ripples spread across a puddle, and a mushroom and a fern frame the scene. The hedgehog’s spiky fur is fine detail, while the leaf and wings are wide, open shapes. With arms stretched wide, a smiling fairy with a flower in her hair rides on the back of a sparrow whose wings are spread in flight. A striped rainbow arcs behind them between puffy clouds, with five small stars scattered across the sky. The big feathered wings have scalloped edges, while the clouds and rainbow bands are wide, easy shapes. Bending forward with a small watering can, a fairy with a hair bun and a flower tucked in waters rows of radishes and a carrot, with pea pods hanging on a tied-stick trellis. A smiling snail with a spiral shell sits beside a harvest basket, and a tall sunflower rises behind the fence. The leaf-petal skirt and the pea pods have fine lines, while the sunflower petals are bold and open. A smiling fairy with a hair bun sits in a curved wooden rocking chair, knitting a long chunky scarf with twig needles. A ball of yarn lies on the left, and a sleepy snail with a spiral shell rests on the right. The knit stitches and the yarn strands are fine detail, while the wings and chair are larger, open shapes. Eyes closed, a long-haired fairy in a leaf skirt sits on a boulder and plays a twig flute while three music notes drift in swirling lines. A frog, a rabbit and two songbirds listen around her, with two spotted toadstools in the grass. The wings have fine veins, while the boulder and animals are broad, open shapes. Standing on tiptoe in ballet slippers, a long-haired fairy with a flower in her hair raises a star-tipped wand, and a swirl of dots and sparkles spirals up beside her. A crescent moon, about eight stars and two leafy plants frame the grassy hill. The leaf skirt and wing veins are finer, while the moon and stars are big, open shapes. A barefoot fairy with a hair bun balances on a fallen log over a stream and holds up a glowing lantern with short rays around it. Two smaller fairies wave from the bank, while three fireflies, a full moon and four sparkle stars fill the night sky. The log’s bark lines and the ripples in the water are fine detail. A cheerful fairy with a hair bun and pointed ears slides down a curving rainbow with five bands, both arms thrown up in the air. A cloud sits at the top and another at the bottom, and three stars float nearby. The rainbow bands and clouds are big, open shapes, while the leaf skirt and wing veins are finer. Three tulip-bud towers with arched windows and a vine-wrapped gate rise above a curved vine bridge over a stream. Three fairies fly around the castle, with a sun, clouds and six daisies in the foreground. The daisies and tower walls are large, open shapes, while the vines and bushes need a steadier hand. Riding a fuzzy, smiling bumblebee, a fairy with a satchel leans out to drop an envelope into a mailbox built from a tulip bud. Two butterflies flutter nearby, and tufts of grass with two flowers fill the bottom. The bee’s striped, furry body suits two or three shades of yellow and brown. A smiling fairy with a flower in her hair bun sits on a mossy rock and holds a bent fishing rod, with a small scaled fish dangling on the line. A frog watches from a lily pad on the right, with cattails, grass tufts and ripples around them. The fish’s scales and the wing veins are fine lines, while the lily pads and rock are large, open shapes. Perched on a wooden fence post, a leaf-skirted fairy blows a bubble through a wand. Three of the bubbles hold tiny daisies, and a tall sunflower and grass tufts stand in the foreground. The star-marked wings and the plank grain have fine lines, while the bubbles are big and open. A fairy with a hair bun steps up a staircase of six stacked books and reaches toward a tall library shelf. A round window, a ladder, a candle in a holder, a magnifying glass and a trailing heart-leaf plant fill the room. The wood grain of the desk and the floor boards suit lighter and darker browns. A kneeling fairy with a flower in her long wavy hair wraps her arms around a smiling bunny with its eyes closed. A huge seeded strawberry sits behind them, and a butterfly flutters above three small flowers and grass tufts. The big, open shapes of the wings, leaf skirt and bunny suit younger colorists. Cross-legged, a smiling fairy with wavy hair and a small flower tucked above her pointed ear sits among eight scattered stars. Her large wings are filled with leaf shapes and spiral curls, and her skirt is made of overlapping leaves. The wing panels are fine and detailed, so they suit sharp pencils. Under a large cratered full moon, a smiling pointed-ear fairy glides next to an owl with wings spread wide and feathers drawn in layers. Four clouds, about a dozen small stars and bare branches in the corners fill the night sky. The moon’s craters and the owl’s scalloped feathers are fine work, so sharp pencils help. Two fairies, one pouring from a teapot, share tea with a mouse, a snail and a spotted ladybug around a tree-stump table. The table holds a strawberry cake and four teacups, with mushroom seats, grass and five flowers around it. Lots of small areas make this sheet a good fit for patient colorists. Balancing on pointe on a big blossom, a ballerina fairy raises both arms over her hair bun and kicks one leg out behind her. Three smiling fireflies with glow lines hover around her, and two large leaves frame the stem below. The wide petals and leaves are open shapes that are easy to color.
