Birthday Cupcake and Gift Coloring Page

About this page

Two party items stand next to each other: a cupcake on the left and a wrapped gift on the right. The cupcake has a tall, swirled cap of frosting dotted with small round sprinkles, a single striped candle with a teardrop flame sticking out of the top, and a pleated paper cup below. The present is a boxy gift seen from an angle, with a wide ribbon running down the front, a large two-loop bow on top and big round dots over its sides. The gift is slightly taller than the cupcake and fills the right half of the page. Between them, the white space is open and the background is blank. Both shapes are simple, with large, clear areas, so this is an easy page for young children who enjoy treats and presents.
