Baby with Pacifier
The page shows a close baby face with pacifier, round cheeks, and a small hair curl.
Up close: this picture shows a baby's face with a pacifier in its mouth, big eyes and round cheeks. The head almost fills the sheet and stands freely on a white background.
What can you see?
A small curl of hair sits above the forehead, the ears are on the sides, and the pacifier rests in the middle in front of the mouth. The shoulders are hinted at below. Eyes, cheeks and pacifier form large, clearly separated areas.
Ideas for colouring
- Pick out the pacifier ring in a strong colour.
- Add a light pink to the cheeks and keep the face pale.
- Colour the curl a little darker than the skin.
With its few large areas, the page suits the youngest from around three years and topics such as feelings or daily life. Good to know: sucking on a pacifier meets a natural need and calms many babies.
Feelings and more to draw
The face is a good way to talk about feelings: does the baby look content, sleepy or curious? Below the head you can add a body in a romper so that a whole figure appears. If you like, draw the same face a second time beside it, but with a different expression. A calm page then becomes a little game with expressions and imagination. A favourite animal may sit next to it too.
