Meet Perry the Cheerful Platypus
Perry the platypus is ready for a bright day by the riverbank! With his webbed feet resting on a smooth stone and a big smile on his bill, he’s spotted two friendly koalas peeking down from a eucalyptus tree above. The leaves sway gently, and soft tufts of grass surround this happy gathering. What colors will you give Perry and his koala friends? Imagine the sounds, the shade, and the river nearby as you bring this peaceful Australian scene to life!
FUN FACT
A platypus can eat about 20% of its own body weight in food every single night!

COLORING TIPS
Try gentle browns for Perry’s body and a splash of tan or gray for his bill and flippers. The koalas love soft grays, but you can make them any color you wish. Use light greens for the eucalyptus leaves and experiment with blending yellow and blue on the grass and rocks for a playful touch.
