Upside-Down in the Tree: Opossum Fun
Early in the morning, an opossum uses its strong tail to dangle safely from a sturdy tree branch. With gentle ears perked and little paws outstretched, it scans the forest below, curious about the day ahead. Bring this clever climber's world to life by choosing your favorite colors for its fur, the wooden branch, and the leafy twigs. Imagine what kind of forest might surround the opossum as it explores from up high!
FUN FACT
A male opossum is sometimes called a 'jack', and a female opossum is called a 'jill'.

COLORING TIPS
Try blending two shades of gray for the opossum’s fur to give it a soft look. Add touches of pink to the inside of the ears, nose, and toes. For the branch, mix browns and greens for a more natural effect, and don’t forget to color the leaves with your favorite shades of green—or even autumn colors if you prefer.
