How to Choose Colors

• The Pigs: Pigs are usually pink, but it is also fun to use brown, off-white, or any color you like using your imagination!
  • The First Pig (Straw House): He is cheerful and a little careless, so bright pink or orange will look great on him.
  • The Second Pig (Wood House): He is a bit more relaxed, so try using light brown or beige.
  • The Third Pig (Brick House): He is smart and hard-working, so a slightly darker pink or calm colors might be nice. Showing his personality with his clothes color is also fun.
• The Wolf: Wolves are usually gray or brown, but you can also use blackish colors or dark purple to make him look extra scary. Color his eyes black to show his sharp look!
• The Houses:
  • Straw House: Straw is light yellow or straw-colored. Mix in a little brown to make it look real. Use bright yellow for light parts and dark yellow for shadows to show the roof blowing away in the wind.
  • Wood House: Wood is mostly brown. Use light and dark shades so you can see the wood grain and make it look 3D. Color the ladder the same way.
  • Brick House: Bricks are usually red-brown or orange, but mixing different colors to make a colorful house is a fun idea, too. Color the chimney black or gray, and color the smoke white or light gray.
• The Background:
  • Sky: It is a sunny day, so color it bright blue. Make the sun yellow or orange with rays spreading out to give it a cheerful feel. Leave the clouds white, and add a little gray to make them look 3D.
  • Trees: Leaves are green. Mix bright fresh green and calm green to make them look natural. Changing the leaf colors for different types of trees is fun, too.
  • Ground: Use green grass to show a lively meadow. Adding small yellow or white flowers here and there will make it super cute.

Coloring Tips

• Add Shadows: Use different colors for light spots and shadow spots to give your picture depth. For example, under the pigs' bellies or in the shadows of the house walls.
• Show Different Textures: Think about how each material feels while you color, like rough straw, wood grain, or bumpy bricks. It will make your picture look more real and cool!
• Make Expressions Lively: Pay attention to the characters' faces as you color, like the pigs' happy faces or the wolf's scary face. It will bring the story to life!

Tips to Have Fun Coloring

• Remember the Story: Talk with your friends while coloring! Ask things like, "How is this pig feeling?" or "Where did the wolf come from?"
• Make Your Own Story: Draw new characters that are not in the picture, or think of new endings for the story. For example, a surprising story where the pigs defeat the wolf!
• Use Different Art Supplies: Try using different tools, like colored pencils for tiny parts and crayons for big bold spots, to create all kinds of fun styles.

Now, color your very own world of the Three Little Pigs with lots of bright colors!
