Mandala Platypus with Fancy Feathers

A big-billed platypus paddles right across the page, covered head to tail in swirling flowers and cheerful leafy shapes. Her wide, flat bill curves with a gentle smile, while round eyes peek out beneath a helmet of swirling petals. The platypus’s tail and legs burst with leafy curls, and the body is packed with twirling patterns that beg for every crayon in the box.

Petals and dots bloom all around her, as if a garden is following wherever she swims. The open spaces and little details invite slow, careful coloring or bright, bold scribbles. Every zigzag and spiral makes her look even more playful, as though her world is part pond, part daydream.

Fun Fact!

When a platypus swims, it propels itself mainly with its webbed front feet, using an alternating paddling motion.
