What colors will you choose for the water, the leaf, and the hippo’s big round belly? Imagine the sunlight, and make the pond come alive as this hippo enjoys a silly, splashy moment.
FUN FACT
A hippo is one of the heaviest land animals on Earth; a big male hippo can weigh between 3,500 to 4,000 pounds (1,600-1,800 kg) or even more!
