Hot Cocoa Coloring Page

About this coloring page

This smiling mug is filled to the brim, with three chunky marshmallows floating on top and a striped candy cane leaning on the rim. The stripes add a bit of fine work to a medium page.

Warm drinks are a good way into temperature words. Ask what feels hot, warm, cool and cold, and where a mug of cocoa belongs on that list. Then count the three marshmallows and look for the candy cane's stripes. Coloring every other stripe red takes care, so it is a good task for a steady older hand.

Fun fact

Cocoa is made from the seeds of the cacao tree, which grows in warm, rainy places.

• Color ideaColor the mug any bright color, leave the marshmallows white and give the candy cane red and white stripes.
