Birthday Present with a Bow Coloring Page

About this page

A big gift box with a lid fills the center of the page, covered in round polka dots of different sizes. The box is drawn in three-quarter view, so you can see its front and its right-hand side, and the lid overhangs the base with a thick edge. A wide ribbon runs straight down the front, and a large bow sits on top, with two loops, a square knot in the middle and two ribbon tails that hang down the front. The dots are drawn as clean circles scattered across the box. Nothing else is on the page, so the wrapped present is the whole picture. The big circles and the broad ribbon are simple to color without going over the lines, which makes it a good easy page for kids who enjoy gift-giving and birthdays.
