Opossum Family Takes a Forest Stroll
In a quiet patch of the forest, a mother opossum enjoys a peaceful walk while her five curious babies ride on her back. Each little one holds on tightly, their noses twitching as they look around at the tall grasses and leafy plants nearby. What do you think the baby opossums are hoping to see on their journey? Color the scene and imagine their playful adventure through the woods together.
FUN FACT
When an opossum feels threatened, it might hiss loudly and show its many teeth as a warning before "playing possum."

COLORING TIPS
Try using gentle strokes for the opossum’s soft fur, and blend light grays or browns for a furry effect. Add pops of bright green to the plants, and mix light and dark shades for the rocks. Don’t forget to color each baby opossum a little differently if you’d like them to stand out!
