Fun Fact

Pelicans have a special pouch under their long beak that can hold a surprisingly large amount of water and fish – sometimes up to 3 gallons!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Fluffy Feathers - Use short, light strokes with a soft gray or brown for the baby pelican's downy fluff, adding a touch of peach for warmth.
2. 2🖍️ Watery Wonders - Blend light blues, greens, and even a hint of purple for the clear, shallow water, using wavy lines to show gentle ripples.
3. 3✨ Sandy Shore - Experiment with different shades of yellow, tan, and light brown for the sandy beach, perhaps adding tiny dots for texture.
4. 4🌈 Natural Background - Use varying greens for the reeds and water plants, adding darker shades for depth and lighter ones for highlights.
