🎨 How to color it

Color the cook’s hat bright white, the brick oven warm terracotta, the pizza slice golden yellow, and the wall clock sky blue. Use chunky crayons for the big oven, counter, and stools, and don’t worry if little hands color past the curved dough lines. Try making the flying dough pale cream in the middle with a buttery yellow edge so it looks soft and stretchy.

Behind the warm counter, Nell held her pizza slice with both hands and watched dough whoosh above the brick oven. She wanted to ask for one tiny toss, but the fire crackled pop-pop, and her voice stayed smaller than a sprinkle.

Then her spoon tapped something in the flour bowl. Clink! Under the soft white flour was a folded note that smelled like yeast: “When the first helper is brave, toss the dough toward the clock.” Nell whispered, “May I try?” The cook smiled and lifted the dough with her.

Up it floated, round as a moon, pointing at the clock. Ever since, the town’s pizza dough is tossed once toward the clock before baking. Next time you see it flying, can you spot Nell’s first brave whoosh?
