🎨 How to color it

Give the elf’s hat bright red stripes, the cocoa mug a candy-cane pink, the fireplace flames golden yellow, and the tree a deep evergreen. Use chunky crayons for the big hat, mug, and tree shapes, and let little hands color right over the tiny snowflakes and garlands if they want. Add one fun surprise by making each marshmallow a different soft color, like vanilla, peach, and pale blue.

Every night, Niko hugged his big cocoa cup and sat where the rug felt fuzzy under his toes. The cup had one tiny star on it from his first winter, so he never carried it far.

Until one night, the kettle went toot-toot from across the fire room. Because of that, Niko stood up. Because of THAT, his knees did a wiggle-wobble by the warm crackle. “I can do one step,” he whispered. Step, sip, step! At last, he reached the kettle and filled the cup high. Can you spot the brave star cup now?
