Choose a job through its actions
Start with these kitchen examples: compare carrying a tray with shaping food, then look for other work scenes in the gallery.
Cookie tray
Star-shaped and round cookies can each share a color. The tray gives a clear focus within the kitchen.
A Tray of Fresh Cookies →
Folding dumplings
Hands, dough rounds and folded dumplings invite you to follow the action; the surrounding tools add detail.
Folding Dumplings →Group cookies by shape
Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.
Digital coloring example
- 1. Golden stars
- 2. Brown circles
- 3. Blue apron
- Color the star-shaped cookies golden yellow.
- Color the round cookies light brown. Do not use color to decide whether food is cooked.
- Color the apron below the waist and its ties blue. Leave mitts, jacket, tray and kitchen white.
Both cookie shapes are easy to find. Say what happens in the picture before imagining the next scene.
Make a two-sentence work story
Use the selected picture and a blank sheet. Find the person, an object and a visible action.
- Write or say what the person is doing now.
- Add an imagined next step and mark it as your story idea. Keep it separate from what the picture actually shows.
More selection and activity ideas
Choose a page
Look for a familiar job, then choose the amount of detail you enjoy. Simple portraits have larger areas; workplace scenes offer more objects to color.
Try it together
After coloring, find a book, bowl, hose or another object in your picture. Talk about what the person is doing and who they are helping. On a teacher thank-you picture, say what you would like to thank them for.
