The coloring page in this Russian folk tale shows a brave gingerbread man running away from a menacing wolf. The gingerbread man is clutching a knife tightly in his right hand and a spoon in the left to keep the wolf at bay. The wolf is close behind him, making attempts to catch the gingerbread man, but the gingerbread man is just out of reach, doing whatever he can to remain on the run. As the fairy tale comes to life on this page, one can envision a vibrant and colorful scene of movement and suspense. I would recommend a backdrop of soft blue and green hues for this scene, symbolizing the open fields around them. The gingerbread man could be a deep yellow or golden color, to suggest warmly spiced treats, and the wolf could be a striking shade of dark charcoal. A few red and orange highlights could be added to the gingerbread man’s clothing and the wolf’s fur to distinguish the two characters and provide a rich contrast. Finally, a few soft white to suggest the clouds in the sky could be included as well.
