Patchwork Frog Brewing a Potion

A smiling patchwork frog wears a pointed witch hat with bows as it stirs a bubbling cauldron. Curving wisps rise toward a crescent moon, with stars and sparkles scattered overhead. Mushrooms, leafy fronds, flowers and grass surround the frog, while bottles, jars and pointed crystals fill the foreground. One bottle even has a little skull-shaped stopper.

This medium-detail drawing suits big kids who enjoy coloring both large shapes and smaller decorations. The frog and cauldron offer roomy areas, while the stitches, mushroom gills and leaves invite a slower pace. Try a green frog with a purple hat and bright orange mushrooms, or use colored pencils to give each crystal a different shade.
