Whimsical Hippo in Patterns and Swirls
Meet a gentle hippopotamus, sitting quietly at the river’s edge, its skin decorated with swirling leaves and dazzling blooms. Imagine this hippo relaxing in the warm sun, surrounded by the sounds of the wild, its patterns telling the story of jungle plants and peaceful waters. Bring this hippo’s enchanting designs to life with your favorite colors, and imagine a hidden world within each swirl and petal. Will the leaves be bright green, the flowers vivid pink, or maybe blue like the sparkling river?
FUN FACT
Loss of their wetland habitats to farming and human settlements is a major threat to hippo survival.

COLORING TIPS
Try coloring the leaves in different shades of green, using lighter colors in the center and darker tones on the edges for depth. Add soft pinks or purples to the flower designs for eye-catching accents. Use colored pencils for blending and fine detail work—experiment with layering colors for a dreamy, watercolor effect.
