Coloring order

Color Brookhorn's body and tail in one light green. The shapes are big, so go slowly in one direction.
Use pink or orange for the round patterns on the frill behind its head, and yellow for the small beak.
Color the winding stream on the right sky blue, the sun yellow and the rocks gray, then finish the ferns in green.

Questions to talk about

What is Brookhorn smiling at by the stream?
Who else might live in the stream?
Have you ever splashed in the water? How did it feel?

Take it further

Tear a long strip of blue paper to make a stream, draw a few stones around it and tell a story about Brookhorn crossing it.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

The black-and-white line art you print and color, with clear outlines and wide areas that suit younger children.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
