Platypus Nest by the Riverbank
Meet a friendly platypus as she rests beside her cozy nest, keeping her eggs safe under the shade of a leafy tree. Soft grass surrounds her, and the calm river glistens in the distance. Imagine what colors you’d see if you tiptoed through this peaceful garden, listening for the gentle splash of the platypus diving into the water nearby.
FUN FACT
A platypus has a wide, flat, rubbery bill that looks like a duck's bill, but it's soft and covered in sensitive skin, not hard like a bird's beak.

COLORING TIPS
Try using soft browns and yellows for the platypus, with gentle blues and greens for the river and plants. Layer your colors to make the grass vibrant, and add a touch of pink or purple to the flower for extra charm.
