Color choices
Platypus can begin with warm brown fur, a muted gray bill, and darker webbed feet and tail. Color the broad body and creek before filling the bill, eyes, and small fur tufts. Combine blue water with green reeds and tan rocks. Use orange cattails and a bright dragonfly for contrast against the bushes.
Creek Stone Color Pattern
Repeat a chosen color sequence across the creek stones, then echo it on the reeds and dragonfly wings.
Before you print
Platypus Swimming in a Creek Coloring Page has about 113 separate areas to color, a medium level of detail. Crayons work for the larger shapes, and colored pencils or fine markers help in the smaller spaces.
The PDF fills one US Letter page. On A4 paper, choose “Fit to page” so the frame stays inside the margins, and print one test copy before making a class set.
This picture is also in the Australian Animals Coloring Pack, one PDF with 12 pictures and a cover page for printing a set in one go.
