Desert Discovery: Baby Roadrunner's First Peek

Fun Fact

Roadrunners are incredibly fast birds! They can run up to 20 miles per hour, which is why they often prefer to run rather than fly, especially when hunting for snacks like lizards and insects in the desert!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Textured Cactus** - Use a variety of green shades and small, upward strokes to create the ribbed, textured look of the saguaro cactus. Add tiny dots for the spines.
2. 2🖍️ **Soft Feathers** - For the baby roadrunner's fluffy feathers, use light, feathery strokes with warm browns, grays, and creams. Blend gently to show its softness.
3. 3✨ **Curious Eyes** - Make the roadrunner's eyes sparkle! Use a dark color for the pupil and a slightly lighter shade for the iris, adding a tiny white dot for a highlight to show its curiosity.
4. 4🌈 **Tiny Wildflowers** - Use bright, contrasting colors like reds, yellows, and purples for the small desert wildflowers. Don't be afraid to make them pop against the sandy desert floor.
