1. Ebenezer Scrooge’s Gloomy Counting House 💰
Step into the cold, unwelcoming office where our story begins with miserly old Scrooge counting his coins. This scene captures the moment before his life-changing journey starts.
Your kids can bring this Victorian workspace to life using dark grays and browns with Crayola colored pencils. The desk, ledger books, and small fireplace offer plenty of details to fill in. Add touches of golden yellow for the candlelight and coins scattered across Scrooge’s desk.

Children can experiment with pale grays and white for the ghostly, transparent appearance using Crayola washable markers. The chains draped around Marley can be colored in dark gray or silver metallic shades. Try using light green or pale blue to give the ghost an eerie, supernatural glow.
The background bedroom scene offers space to add deep browns for wooden furniture and midnight blue for nighttime shadows. Gel pens work wonderfully for adding wispy, floating effects around the ghost. This dramatic scene teaches kids about consequences and second chances through coloring.

Use soft yellows and warm gold with Faber-Castell colored pencils to create the spirit’s gentle radiance. The ghost’s flowing robes can shine with cream and pearl white tones. Background scenes of young Scrooge at school or with his sister Fan need cheerful colors like rose pink and sky blue.
The magical time-travel effects around them can pop with purple and light blue swirls using Crayola twistable crayons. Add green for holly decorations and red ribbons in the memory scenes. This page helps children understand how our past shapes who we become.

Tables laden with food and punch bowls shine with orange, yellow, and pink for treats and beverages. Musicians’ instruments gleam in brass gold and brown when colored with metallic markers. This cheerful page reminds children that generosity and kindness create the best celebrations.
5. The Ghost of Christmas Present 🎁

People’s winter clothing looks cozy in navy blue, burgundy, forest green, and black with Crayola markers. Add white or light blue for falling snow and accumulated drifts using white gel pens.

8. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come 🌑
The most mysterious and frightening spirit arrives as a dark, silent figure pointing toward a troubling future. This hooded phantom never speaks, only gestures toward what awaits if Scrooge doesn’t change.
Use black or very dark gray for the phantom’s flowing robes with Crayola black crayon or black colored pencil. Leave the face area completely empty and mysterious under the hood. The long, bony hand pointing forward can be pale gray or ghostly white for a skeletal appearance.
The foggy, dark background needs deep grays and midnight blue blended together with Faber-Castell colored pencils. Add dark purple shadows and mist swirling around the figure.
