Wiggly Water Day with Platypus Pete

Pete the platypus paddles right across the page, flippers stretched out and bill turned up in a happy grin. Wavy water swirls all around him, giving the whole scene a sense of splashy movement. Thick lines form the blocks and squiggles behind him, like a puzzle of pond life waiting for bright colors.

Swirls in the corners frame Pete as he glides along, looking ready for a fun swim. His wide eyes peek out with curious excitement, and every blocky patch on his back stands out, just asking for a new shade. This lively platypus invites little hands to fill his world with color from head to tail.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Use blue and green for the waves to make the water swish.
  2. 2 Try different browns and tans on Pete’s back for a patchy look.

  4. 4 Add a little sparkle with yellow or silver in the corner swirls.
