Gentle Giant and the Feathered Friend

A wise old elephant stands tall, his long trunk curling like a question as he looks right at you. Swirling lines decorate his big ears and sturdy legs, and a twirly pattern blossoms across his forehead, almost like a fancy hat made just for him. Resting calmly on that lacy crown, a small, perky bird balances with tiny feet, gazing out with bright, curious eyes. The elephant’s eyes look kind, and his wide, heavy feet keep him grounded in the middle of the page.

The two animals make quite the pair: the bird light and quick, the elephant strong and steady. Broad ears and tusks stretch to each side, giving plenty of space for all kinds of colors. Every wrinkle and swirl promises a new place for crayons to dance, from the tip of the trunk to the fluffed feathers on the bird’s back. It’s a moment where the jungle’s biggest and smallest meet, sharing a peaceful pause together.

Fun Fact!

Just like people are right-handed or left-handed, an elephant might prefer to use its right tusk or its left tusk more often.

Coloring Tips

1 Use light blue or purple for the swirls on the elephant’s forehead.
