Happy Hippos by the Riverbank
Meet a cheerful family of hippos cooling off by a gentle river. The littlest hippo playfully splashes near the water’s edge while the grown-ups watch the clouds and enjoy the tall, swaying grass. Surrounded by leafy trees and rolling hills, these hippos love sunny days on the riverbank. How many different greens and blues can you use to bring this lively riverside scene to life?
FUN FACT
Hippos play an important role in their ecosystems by grazing, which keeps grasses short, and by creating pathways in swamps.

COLORING TIPS
Use soft browns, pinks, or even purples for the hippos’ skin. Experiment with light and dark greens in the grass and trees, and try blending different blues for the water and sky. Add a few dabs of yellow for sunshine and let your imagination create a vibrant riverside world.
