Playful Platypus by the Riverbank
Down by the edge of a winding river, a curious platypus has found the perfect rock for watching dragonflies zip by. With a splash and a wide, friendly bill, our platypus enjoys a sunny day in its watery home. Who knows? Maybe it's trying to catch a snack or just making new dragonfly friends. Let your colors bring this lively river scene to life!
FUN FACT
An adult platypus doesn't have any teeth! Instead, it uses tough, horny pads in its bill to grind up its food.

COLORING TIPS
Try using gentle browns for the platypus’ fur and a light yellow or beige for its bill. Blend some different blues and greens for the water and plants. Dragonflies can be brightly colored – experiment with shiny blues or greens. Add gentle swirls to the water for extra movement.
