Christmas Rocking Horse Coloring Page

About this coloring page

A toy horse with a curly mane and a swishy tail rocks on its curved base, wearing a saddle and a bow at its neck. The mane, saddle and rocker give this medium page a nice mix of shapes.

A rocking horse cannot gallop anywhere, yet in a child's mind it can go everywhere. Ask where your child would ride it: across a snowy field, through a forest or up to the moon? The long curved rocker is one smooth shape for a crayon, and the curls of the mane are small bumps better suited to a pencil.
