The lid is flipped open on a bento box split into four compartments: maki rolls, nigiri, a banded egg block, and a ruffle of lettuce. Color the box a bright red, the rolls cream with green edges, and the egg block sunny yellow. Leave the lettuce a fresh light green.

A chubby maki roll grins from the middle of the page, one thick salmon slice resting on its head like a hat. Color the rice creamy white, the salmon a warm coral orange, and the cheeks soft pink. Thick lines mean crayons work just fine here.

One piece of salmon nigiri rests on the page, a thick slice of fish draped over a soft oval of rice. Color the salmon a warm coral with lighter bands between the stripes, and keep the rice a pale cream. Two colors and this one is done.

A round maki roll and a smiling nigiri stand side by side, hands joined and stubby legs planted on the page. Color the roll's rice white with a bright pink filling, and give the nigiri a coral salmon cap. Both have the same simple smile, so pick two different fillings to tell them apart.

An oval platter holds three maki rolls and three nigiri pieces, with leafy garnish tucked between them and chopsticks resting alongside. Color the rice pale cream, the salmon coral, and the shrimp a soft pink with white bands. A dark green platter rim makes the whole spread stand out.

Three maki rolls sit in a row on a wooden serving stand, each cut open so the filling faces the front. Color the rice grains cream, the salmon strip coral, and the avocado crescent a soft green. A warm brown stand underneath ties the three together.

A chef in a headband presses a roll together on his bamboo mat, knife and rice bowl waiting on either side. Color his jacket crisp white with a navy headband, the counter warm brown, and the bamboo plant behind him green. A dark nori wrap makes the roll stand out.

A seaweed cone stands upright with rice packed into the top and a thick salmon slice leaning out of it. Two pointed leaves poke up behind. Color the cone a deep seaweed green, the salmon warm coral, and leave the rice almost white.

Four pieces of nigiri sit in a row on a wooden board, each tied with a thin band, with soy sauce, a mound of wasabi and curls of ginger below. Color three fish slices coral and the shrimp pale pink. A bright green wasabi mound adds the pop.

Five plates of sushi ride the conveyor belt past a curtain with a fish on it, two hanging lamps and a single empty stool. Color the curtain deep indigo, the belt a warm wood brown, and the floor planks a lighter tan. Give each plate a different rim color.

A rounded triangle of rice grins out from the middle of the page, a wide band of seaweed wrapped across its bottom. Color the rice soft white, the seaweed band near black, and the two cheeks a light pink. Big shapes, very little to stay inside of.

A square tray bordered with rolling wave patterns holds four maki rolls, three nigiri and three sesame-covered uramaki, with pointed leaves fanning out beneath. Color the wave border deep indigo against a cream tray, the fish coral, and the leaves two shades of green. Save the sesame dots for last.

Rings of sushi radiate out from a single nigiri at the center, circled by maki rolls, leaves and crossed chopsticks. Pick two or three colors and repeat them around each ring so the symmetry holds. Deep indigo in the outer band makes the pale rice in the middle glow.

Six california rolls sit in two rows on a round plate, rice sides speckled with sesame and crab and avocado showing in the middle. Color the rice pale cream with tan seeds, the crab stick orange, and the avocado a soft green. A curl of ginger and a wasabi swirl finish the plate.

Three nigiri lie tucked under a blanket in a wooden box bed, eyes closed and small smiles on their faces. Color the fish caps coral, the rice pillows cream, and the blanket any soft color you like. Three dream bubbles drift up from the middle sleeper.

A tabby cat holds a maki roll between its chopsticks, mouth open and ready, with a plate of three more rolls waiting on the low table. Color the fur warm orange with darker stripes, the teapot soft blue, and the mat below a pale green. The window behind stays light.

Seven thick slices of fish fan out across a wooden board, each one marked with soft diagonal lines. A nest of shredded daikon and a single pointed leaf sit behind them. Color the fish coral with paler stripes and give the board a warm brown with visible grain.

One piece of tamago nigiri sits alone on the page, a thick slab of sweet egg laid over rice with a wide seaweed band strapped across the middle. Color the egg a warm golden yellow, the rice pale cream, and the band deep charcoal. Three colors and you are finished.

A patterned bowl brims with individually drawn rice grains, topped with three fish slices, two tamago rolls, clusters of roe and an edamame pod. Color the rice near white so the coral fish and orange roe stand out. The wave pattern on the bowl deserves its own two shades of blue.

A whole dragon curls across the plate, its body built from overlapping sesame-covered rolls and its tail fanned into thin strips. A carved rose, leaves and a nest of shredded vegetables fill the space around it. Color the scales pale cream, the fillings green and coral, and give the rose a deep red.

Five pieces of sushi are stacked into a tower on an oval plate, and the top roll is already tipping, with motion lines to prove it. Color the rolls cream with green wrappers, the fish slices coral, and the shrimp pale pink. A bold plate color keeps the tower from floating.

Four people sit around a round table with a shared platter of six sushi pieces in the middle, chopsticks raised and small dipping dishes at each place. Color the shirts four different colors so everyone stands apart. A soft blue sky through the window keeps the room bright.

Four uramaki rolls sit in a row on a wooden stand, rice on the outside and dotted all over with sesame. Each one shows the same fillings inside: a hatched block, a crescent, and a thin strip. Color the rice cream, the crescent green, and give all four the same scheme.

The side order gets its own page: a pair of chopsticks, a round soy dish, three curls of ginger and a pointed mound of wasabi. Color the chopsticks warm tan, the sauce deep brown, the ginger pale pink, and the wasabi bright green. Four shapes, four colors, done.

A wooden boat with a roped rim carries twelve pieces of sushi in three rows, from dark nori maki at the back to sesame rolls at the front. Color the hull in two browns so the planks separate, and keep the rice pale against the darker wrappers. Leaves and a carved garnish fill the gaps.

An octopus in a headband handles a bamboo mat, a knife, a rice bowl and a finished roll, one tentacle per job. Seaweed sways on both sides and bubbles drift up past its head. Color the octopus a soft purple, the seaweed deep green, and the sand a pale gold.

Two nigiri wear carved jack-o-lantern faces, a mummy roll peers out from its bandages, and a ghost-shaped rice ball sits beside them on the platter. Color the pumpkin faces bright orange, the mummy wraps off white, and leave the ghost pale. A dark soy dish finishes the Halloween look.

Two nigiri wear little Santa hats, a star-shaped piece sits beside them, and three maki rolls show a heart, a tree and a flower in their centers. A sprig of holly with red berries rests by the platter. Color the hats and berries bright red against pale rice and a green tree.

A food truck serves sushi from a counter under a striped awning, with paper lanterns hanging at each end and wave patterns covering the body. Cherry blossoms drift past the panels. Color the waves in two blues, the awning in alternating stripes, and the lanterns a warm red.

A cherry blossom branch in full flower arches above a tray of eight sushi pieces, with loose petals scattered between them. Color the blossoms in two pinks, the tray border in a deep contrast, and keep the rice pale. The diamond pattern around the edge is worth doing slowly.

The whole page is covered edge to edge in small sushi doodles: maki rolls, nigiri, temaki cones, soy dishes, crossed chopsticks and curling waves. Pick one color per icon type and repeat it across the page. Leaving the background white keeps the pattern from closing in.

A checked blanket is laid out under three trees with a four-part bento tray, a flowered flask, two rolled bamboo mats and loose pieces of sushi scattered around. Color the blanket in two soft shades so the grid stays readable. Save your brightest colors for the sushi and the flask flowers.

A very round panda in a tied headband rests both paws around a single maki roll on the counter. Color the ears, eye patches and arms black against a white face and belly, and give the headband a bold red. The roll's filling can be any color you like.

A ring of sushi rice is laid out like a doughnut and split into four sections: fanned salmon, a curved avocado slice, two cucumber rounds and a cluster of small circles. Color each quarter differently so the ring reads as four flavors. The rice center stays pale.

A patterned bowl is packed with curling noodles, two halved eggs, five naruto spirals, a slab of pork and a sheet of nori standing upright. A plate of three maki rolls sits beside it. Color the noodles pale gold, the egg yolks deep orange, and the key pattern a strong contrast.
