Sinterklaas

Sinterklaas arrives by steamboat, while shoes, carrots and gifts appear in canal-side scenes. Choose a simple shoe-and-gift picture or a fuller baking, puzzle or paper-craft scene. The mitre and curled staff keep this Dutch tradition distinct; the pictures can accompany a festive poem or a coloring session.

Teddy with light brown fur and a blue patterned sweater; muzzle, paws, sweater motifs and the surrounding gift scene remain white. — A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.

1. Light brown fur
2. Blue sweater
3. White details

Color the bear’s fur light brown, leaving the muzzle and paw pads white.
Color the sweater blue around its white dots and zigzag band.
Keep the small sweater patterns, muzzle, paw pads and everything around the bear white.

The bear is easy to spot, and the sweater’s white pattern stays clear. The uncolored gifts can wait for another session.
