Tower with a Clock Colouring Page

This page shows a tall tower with a rounded dome on top, a little flag on a pole poking out of the very peak, and a wide ledge running round the tower just below the dome. In the middle of the tower sits a big round clock face with two chunky hands pointing to the time and four small plain circles standing in for numbers, so there is nothing fiddly to trip little hands up. Underneath the clock are two arched windows, each split into four panes, and below those a rounded door with a single round doorknob.

What makes this one worth printing is the mix of big and small spaces on the same page. The dome, the tower walls and the clock face are all wide open areas a child can fill in with one confident colour and barely lift the crayon. The window panes and the ring of small circles round the clock face are smaller and ask for a bit more care to stay inside the lines. It is a nice page to talk over while colouring too, what time the clock might be showing, what colour the flag should be, whether the door is red or brown.

There is nothing here that needs number recognition or tiny detail work, so it sits on the easier side of our Places & Buildings sheets. It suits a child who is just starting to enjoy colouring shapes rather than scribbling freely, and it works well for mixed ages, since the big areas suit the youngest hands while the window panes give an older child something more to focus on.
