Walnut Pedestal Coloring Page

What’s in the picture

There’s a big walnut pedestal that looks like it’s wearing a set of pointy horns, kind of like a tiny castle for forest creatures. A twisted pine trunk curls around it, reminding you of the Gruffalo’s back. Around the base, an amber‑colored river snakes through a ring of huge mushrooms, and floating lanterns that look like eyes hover above the water. At the edge, a misty hill hints at the shape of a clawed foot, adding a mysterious touch.

How to have fun with it

Because the line work is all clean zentangle patterns, you can pick any colors you like—maybe give the walnut a warm brown, the horns a cool blue, or go wild with rainbow mushrooms. The empty spaces are perfect for adding your own doodles or little critters. Grab your crayons, markers, or colored pencils and let the scene come alive.

Coloring tips

Try using different shades for each pattern area—darker tones can make the zigzag lines pop, while lighter hues keep the scene airy. If you like, blend two colors in the river to give it a glowing effect. And don’t worry if you go outside the lines; the fun part is making it your own.
