Platypus by the Shady Stream
On a gentle afternoon, a curious platypus paddles through a sparkling stream, surrounded by smooth stones and leafy plants. The peaceful riverbank is framed by tall grass, sturdy trees, and distant hills, where clouds drift lazily across the sky. What colors will you choose for the water, leaves, and your new platypus friend? Imagine their world as you bring this riverside scene to life!
FUN FACT
A platypus uses its super-sensitive bill to find food like shrimp, worms, and insect larvae hiding in muddy riverbeds, even with its eyes, ears, and nose closed underwater.

COLORING TIPS
Try blending different shades of blue and green for the water and grass. Use light brown or soft gray for the platypus, but explore fun colors for the rocks and plants! Add a splash of color to the sky with gentle pastels, and make the trees lively with rich greens.
