Mont-Saint-Michel coloring pages

Perched on its rocky island, Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, France, is drawn here as a friendly cluster of shapes. The abbey sits on top with a pointed spire and gothic pinnacles, little houses with chimneys crowd the slope among round trees, and a wall with three towers circles the bottom. Smooth wavy lines show the sand and water around it. The thick outlines suit children about 2 to 5. The tides around the island are some of the strongest in Europe. Hand over crayons and suggest gray for the walls, red for the roofs and blue for the sea.

Seagulls glide past Mont-Saint-Michel on this page. The abbey crowns the rock with its tall spire, a cliff face drops away on the left, and a little village climbs the slope between trees down to the ramparts and round towers. In front, a winding channel snakes across wide tidal flats dotted with pebbles, and fluffy clouds fill the sky. Kids about 5 to 10 will enjoy the mix of buildings and landscape. The island lies off the coast of Normandy, France. Colored pencils in sandy beige, slate gray and soft sea green capture the bay nicely.

This fine line view shows Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, France, rising from the bay like a castle from a storybook. The abbey church, its spire topped by a slim ornament, sits above stacked walls and gothic pinnacles, with village houses and trees spilling down to the ramparts. A stream curls through the flats toward you, edged with tall grasses and tiny wildflowers in the foreground, and long clouds stretch across the sky. A calm, absorbing page for older kids and adults. Try watercolor pencils and blend the sky from pale pink near the horizon to blue at the top.

A gull perched on a rock watches over this dense, edge to edge page, while five more soar through a sky of curling clouds and sunbeams. Mont-Saint-Michel fills the middle, its abbey, spire and pinnacles above a packed village of steep roofs, stone walls and a gated entrance. A raised footbridge on pillars leads across the sandy flats, where channels wind between hydrangeas, hollyhocks and leafy plants. Designed for experienced adult colorists who like a long project. The island sits off the coast of Normandy, France. Fine liners in a coastal palette of sand, slate blue and lavender pull it together. Prints on A4 or US Letter.
