Minimalist rainbow over a snow-covered pine tree with falling snowflakes and rolling snowdrifts

Snowy Pine Under a Winter Rainbow

A striped rainbow arches above one snow-laden pine while big and tiny snowflakes drift over rounded winter hills.

🎨 How to color it

Use bright red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple for the rainbow bands, deep forest green for the pine branches, and icy blue for the snowflakes. For toddlers, chunky crayons work well on the wide rainbow stripes and big snowdrifts; staying inside every line is optional. Try leaving the snow on the tree white, then add a soft pale-blue shadow under each snowy puff.

Zip, zip, Tula ran over the soft snow hills. She had made a new game: chase each color in the sky before it slid away. Red! Hop! Yellow! Zoom! Her boots made crunch-crunch sounds.

The pine tree shook its snowy sleeves. Flakes twirled down, little white stars spinning fast. “My turn!” Tula called.

Then she stopped. The snowflakes were not falling down. They were racing up to the colors, playing the game backward.

Tula laughed and ran both ways in her mind: up with the flakes, down over the hills. Can you find the pine that watched her zip, zip?
