Will a bit of color bring a smile to Percy’s face? Parents and kids can invent a funny story for Percy as they color. Will he cheer up if the log is bright purple? Or maybe a rainbow of quills will lift his mood!
FUN FACT
The average lifespan of a porcupine in the wild is about 5 to 7 years, but they can live much longer in captivity.

COLORING TIPS
Experiment with different colors for Percy’s quills—try blending two shades for a fun effect. The log can be colored with twisting lines of brown and tan for texture. Use soft strokes on Percy’s belly and face for a fuzzy look, and bold, sharp lines for his spines.
