Coloring Tips
- To bring these animal friends to life, try using textured strokes to mimic fur, such as short brown dashes for the puppy or long white strokes for the bunny’s tail.
- Parents can encourage kids to use bright, non-traditional colors—like a blue wolf or a pink giraffe—to expand their creative thinking.
- If you are using markers, try outlining the spots on the giraffe first to make them pop before filling in the rest of the body with a lighter shade.
