Desenho para colorir de Coelho (1 de 4)

The Coelho sits close to Japanese hearts - the one said to pound rice cakes on the moon, and the white hare of the old Inaba myth. Its hopping is read as a sign of leaping forward and rising up, a cheerful, lucky image. With its long ears and round body it is an easy charmer. The lines here are large and open, a gentle first sheet.

Sobre o Coelho

Rabbits are gentle, alert animals with long ears that catch the faintest sound and strong hind legs that let them leap and bound away from danger. They are social creatures, quick to breed and quick to move, and that lightness and speed - the way they spring forward in a single bound - has given them a cheerful place in stories and sayings the world over.

In Japan the Coelho appears in some of the best-loved old tales, from the one pounding rice cakes in the markings of the full moon to the white hare of the Inaba myth, and as a sign of the zodiac its leaping is read as a wish for progress and rising fortune. That warm, familiar image is shared across every generation, which makes the Coelho a gentle and welcoming subject to color.

Benefícios do colorir e do treino cognitivo

For coloring, the Coelho's soft, downy look is a pleasure to bring out - a little grey shading and a gentle shadow turn a plain white outline into something rounded and plush. Adding a touch of pink to the ears and nose to lift the face is good, gentle practice for a careful hand, and the sweet, hopeful result is a cheerful page to keep or to give.
