Lila Discovers Smells Santa's Workshop Coloring Page

Coloring page story

Lila the elf was drawing a picture of a candy cane. It was red and white, but it didn't smell like a candy cane. "How can I draw a smell?" she wondered.

She ran to the workshop kitchen and borrowed a peppermint scent-puff. She mixed it into the wax of a red crayon. Melt, mix, cool. It looked like a normal crayon.

Plot Twist: When she drew a red stripe, a wonderful smell of peppermint filled the air! She made a brown crayon that smelled like gingerbread and a green one that smelled like a pine tree.

✨ Interactive Element: Pretend to smell a yummy gingerbread cookie! Sniff, sniff! Mmmm!

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This concept is fantastic for ages 3-5 as it encourages abstract thinking in a very simple, visual way. The objects—crayon, candy cane, gingerbread man—are familiar and fun. The large, clear shapes are perfect for this age group's motor skills. The idea of drawing smells in Santa's Workshop is magical and perfectly suited to a child's imagination.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on standard paper for a simple coloring activity. For a fun sensory experience, have some real peppermint, gingerbread, and a pine branch nearby while coloring! Ensure the printer's black ink is full to make the outlines of the 'smell' icons nice and clear. This makes the Santa's Workshop activity even more immersive.

Recommended Tools

Scented markers would be an absolutely perfect (and meta!) tool for this coloring page. If you don't have those, regular markers or crayons work wonderfully. The large icons are great for any tool, encouraging kids to fill the space with bold color.
