To solve this "Color by Number" puzzle, we need to match each number in the picture with its corresponding color from the key at the bottom.
Step 1: Identify the Color Key
Let's list out which color goes with which number based on the box at the bottom of the page:
*
1 = Brown
*
2 = Green
*
3 = Red
*
4 = Yellow
*
5 = White (Leave blank or color very lightly)
*
6 = Pink
*
7 = Blue
*
8 = Dark Brown
Step 2: Apply Colors to the Picture
Now, look at the different sections of the drawing and apply the colors:
*
The Angel:
* The hair has many
7s, so color the hair
Blue.
* The face and hands are mostly unnumbered or white space, but check for small numbers. There is a
5 on the wing tip, so that part stays
White.
* The dress has sections with
3 (Red),
2 (Green), and
5 (White). Specifically, the top part of the dress near the chest has
3s, so color that
Red. The middle belt area has
2s, so color that
Green. The bottom skirt has large sections of
5, so those stay
White.
* The wings have outlines with
1s, so trace the edges in
Brown.
*
The Christmas Tree:
* The tree itself is made of many sections labeled
2, so color the main parts of the tree
Green.
* There are ornaments and decorations. Look for
4s (Yellow) and
3s (Red) on the tree branches.
* The star on top is labeled
4, so color the star
Yellow.
* The trunk of the tree is labeled
1, so color it
Brown.
*
The Gifts:
* The big gift box behind the angel has a
7 on the bow, so color the bow
Blue. The box itself has sections with
4 (Yellow) and
3 (Red).
* The smaller gift on the ground has an
8 on it, so color that box
Dark Brown.
*
Background/Other Details:
* Any remaining
1s (like outlines or small details) should be colored
Brown.
* Any
6s (Pink) might be on small ornaments or bows; color them
Pink.
Summary of What to Color:
* Find all
1s → Color
Brown
* Find all
2s → Color
Green (Most of the tree)
* Find all
3s → Color

Final Answer:
Follow the color key: 1=Brown, 2=Green, 3=Red, 4=Yellow, 5=White, 6=Pink, 7=Blue, 8=Dark Brown. Color each section of the angel, tree, and gifts according to the number written inside it.
