Why Older Kids Love This Campfire Scene
Drawn in a bold linocut style, every shape has a strong outline and lots of texture: boards on the barn, stones around the fire, bark on the logs and plaid blankets on the seats. Four laughing kids in hats and scarves circle the flames while a dog naps in front. A cat, a hen with two chicks, a lamb and two rabbits watch from the side, and stars twinkle around a moon with a face. It’s a page you can spend a long time on, playing with light and shadow.

Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the picture fits the sheet perfectly.

Grab your crayons and go – then give the finished picture a spot on the fridge!
Campfire Safety 101
A good campfire starts with a safe spot: in this picture, a ring of stones keeps the flames from spreading into the grass. Dry wood burns cleanly, while wet wood makes lots of smoke. A fire should never burn without a grown-up nearby, and a bucket of water or sand should always be close. On a farm, the fire stays well away from the barn, because hay and straw catch fire easily. At the end of the night, the embers are put out completely until they’re cold.
Ideas for Your Finished Campfire Scene
Mount your picture on black paper and back the flames with orange tissue paper – tape it to a window and watch it glow. In class, each student can write what one of the four kids is saying, from a spooky tale to a silly song.
Color Ideas for a Night by the Fire
The fun part of a night scene is the contrast between the dark sky and the bright fire.
Pale yellow in the middle, then orange and red at the edges.
Make the sky deep blue or violet and leave the stars white.
Bright hats and scarves give each kid their own personality.
For a fantasy night, make the fire green and turquoise.
