Mr. Hippo and His Wrinkly Smile

Mr. Hippo sits still and stares with his round, thoughtful eyes. His big round nose fills half his friendly face, with two bold nostrils right up front like tiny tunnels. Wide, floppy ears peek out from each side, listening to every little splash around him.

Lines swirl and curve across his skin, tracing the deep wrinkles and folds that make his head look squishy and soft. Each wrinkle shows where he’s smiled or splashed in muddy water. He’s not grumpy—he’s just thinking about his next big yawn!

Fun Fact!

Young hippo calves are sometimes preyed upon by Nile crocodiles, lions, or hyenas if they get separated from their mothers.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Try shading each wrinkle with a darker color for depth.
  2. 2 Color his nose a soft pink to make it pop.
  3. 3 Use blue or purple for the shadows to make Mr. Hippo look even more squishy.
  4. 4 Give his ears a lighter color for a sun-kissed look.
