Hippopotamus Friends Relax in the River
A peaceful group of hippos is enjoying a sunny day together, half-submerged in their cool, gentle river. Each hippopotamus peeks out with curious eyes, listening to the quiet sounds of the water and watching for birds passing by. Can you imagine what stories these hippo friends might share as they float side by side? Bring the river scene to life by adding your own splash of color and imagination!
FUN FACT
Baby hippos, called calves, can actually swim and will often nurse from their mothers underwater.

COLORING TIPS
Try shading the water with gentle blues and greens, and experiment with different shades of gray, brown, or even purple for the hippos’ skin. Use lighter colors for the areas where the sunlight might touch. Add soft pinks inside their ears and around their noses for a playful, natural look.
