Gentle Hippo Relaxing in the River
Imagine a gentle hippopotamus peeking above the water, enjoying a cool swim on a sunny day. Around the river, tall green trees and soft grass provide a peaceful home for our hippo friend. Who else might be nearby, hidden among the trees, watching the hippo float? Bring this calm riverside world to life with your favorite colors and create a story of your own as you color!
FUN FACT
Young hippo calves are sometimes preyed upon by Nile crocodiles, lions, or hyenas if they get separated from their mothers.

COLORING TIPS
Try blending different shades of gray and brown for the hippo’s skin, using blues and purples for the water to create a rippling effect. Add bright greens for the trees and let your imagination decide whether the sky is sunny or full of soft pastel clouds.
