Color & Reveal Christmas Mystery Picture

As part of our December digital creativity activities, our students worked on a festive “Color & Reveal” Christmas picture using the Windows Paint program. 🎨✨ In this task, the children received a black-and-white mystery Christmas drawing and used the tools of the Paint application to colour different parts of the image. Step by step, as they filled each section with colours, the hidden festive picture slowly appeared! 🎁This activity helped our students: explore basic digital drawing tools, experiment with colours, improve fine motor skills, and enjoy the surprise of discovering what Christmas image was hidden inside.They were excited to see the final result and proudly shared their completed Christmas artwork! 🌟☃️Below you can find the picture we used for the activity. Students can download it, colour it digitally, and reveal the hidden Christmas surprise!
