Coloring order

Color the big leaf-shaped plates across Mirethorn's back in deep purple and dark green, alternating them one by one.
Use light green and teal for the round bumps on the belly and legs, and bright green for the leafy frill around the head.
Last, color the big leaf at the tail tip rising to the upper right, the claws on all four feet and the small eye in yellow and dark shades.

Questions to talk about

What do you think Mirethorn is checking as it walks so carefully?
What sounds and smells might a swamp have? Let's imagine them together.
Have you ever walked on a muddy path after the rain?

Take it further

Cut leaf shapes from green and purple paper and overlap them into a long band, like the leafy plates on Mirethorn's back.

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.

About this image

The black-and-white line art you print and color. Closed shapes and medium-weight outlines make it easy to fill with colored pencils.

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.
