Meet Perry the Playful Platypus

In the middle of a sparkling Australian river, a platypus named Perry is ready to splash around and show off his fantastic feathers and soft bill. With every ripple in the water, his unique patterned fur catches the sunlight in dazzling ways. Bring Perry to life with your favorite colors and imagine the cool adventures he might have while gliding past river stones and reeds. Which colors will you choose for his textured tail and curious little feet?

FUN FACT

When a platypus swims, the webbing on its front feet extends beyond its claws, making them super effective flippers!

COLORING TIPS

Try bright shades for the intricate feather patterns and use gradual shading with colored pencils or fine-tip markers for added depth. Blend blues, greens, and golds to create a shimmering, natural look. Experiment with contrasting colors between the bill, feet, and body for a vivid result.
