Eyes shut, mouth wide open, a freckled child throws both mittens up to catch the first snow falling from a puffy cloud, a tall fir tree standing on the hill to the left. Hand it out the morning the first flakes come down, or for any child counting the days until a snow day. Colour the coat and hat brightly and leave the round flakes white so they stand out against a grey or blue sky. A quieter moment with a single flake comes in Girl Holding a Snowflake.

Coloring inspiration
Draw a sledge waiting at the bottom of the hill for when the snow is deep enough.

A freckled child in a bobble hat laughs with both mittened arms in the air as snow falls from a cloud, a tall fir tree on the left.
