16 Hot Chocolate Coloring Pages
Chocolate drinks go back thousands of years. The Maya and Aztecs drank a frothy, often spicy cacao beverage, and Europeans later sweetened it and served it hot with milk. These pages celebrate the cozy winter version. Mugs come in many styles: a cable-knit sweater cozy, a glass mug with straws, a mason jar, a plaid mug, mugs printed with hearts, stars, holly or a Christmas tree, and a stack of snowflake mugs. Toppings pile high, with whipped cream and a candy cane, cherries and sprinkles, a tower of marshmallows, a star cookie, a heart cookie and cinnamon sticks. There are two cartoon cocoa mugs for small children too. These pages make a sweet pairing with a real cup of cocoa after sledding or a snowy walk. For a realistic look, use a warm brown for the drink and leave the whipped cream mostly white with light gray swirls. Mug patterns are a chance to practice stripes, checks and repeating shapes, which suits school-age kids, while the plain mug is great for preschoolers.
Whipped cream, candy canes and marshmallow cubes
All four pages are easy, with large mug shapes and a few toppings to fill. Cute Hot Chocolate Character is the simplest, with arms, legs and one steam curl for the youngest children. Cute Hot Chocolate adds a wavy band and mini marshmallow dots, Hot Chocolate Mug has a candy cane and drips, and Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows piles chunky cubes on top.
Cocoa browns and cozy mug colors
Warm brown cocoa with white cream is the classic look, and pale pink marshmallows add a sweet touch. Mugs can be red, green, blue or striped, and a peppermint cane brings holiday cheer. These pages suit snow days, winter classroom parties and cozy reading nights, and children can design their own mug pattern with dots, stars or snowflakes before sipping a real cup.
