Two ballerinas in layered tutus stand on a Christmas stage with their arms raised, mirroring each other, a stack of wrapped presents between them and curtains on either side. The tutus are built from several thin layers and want a light hand, which is why this ballet coloring page suits kids from about eight, or anyone who has just seen The Nutcracker. Coloring the two dancers exactly alike makes them twins; giving each her own colors makes them rivals, and children have strong opinions about which. The curtains and floorboards are long simple runs that go quickly. Presents without a stage around them: under the Christmas tree.
Coloring ideas for this page
- Deepest pink at the waist of each tutu, palest at the outer layer.
- Heavy red curtains against a warm wooden stage.
