The Dapper Platypus with a Big Hat

A young platypus stands right in the center, balancing a wide-brimmed hat between his round cheeks and his tall beaver tail. His bright eyes sparkle with mischief, and a tiny smile curls on his bill, as if he just heard a very funny secret. Plump paws rest at his sides, and his webbed feet press gently to the ground, giving him a ready-for-anything stance.

The hat tips at just the right angle, adding extra bounce to his friendly look. Smooth, curving lines outline his chubby belly and big tail, inviting little hands to bring him to life with color. Every shape pops with bold lines and space, making it easy to color inside or outside the lines. He looks ready to waddle straight into a silly new day.
