Pelican's Pouchful Picnic Surprise

Fun Fact

Did you know a pelican's pouch, called a gular pouch, can hold more food than its stomach? It uses this special pouch like a fishing net to scoop up fish, but sometimes, like in our picture, it might just be carrying a delicious picnic!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Focus - Use light, feathery strokes to give your pelican's plumage a soft, realistic texture. Think about subtle shades of white, grey, or even a touch of cream.
2. 2🖍️ Wicker Weave - For the picnic basket, try using different shades of brown and tan. Press lighter on some lines and darker on others to make the woven pattern truly pop!
3. 3✨ Fruity Fiesta - Make the fruits burst with color! Use bright reds for apples, sunny yellows for bananas, and vibrant oranges for... well, oranges! Don't forget tiny highlights for a juicy look.
4. 4🌈 Beach Bliss Background - Create a serene beach scene with soft blues for the sky and ocean, and warm yellows or light browns for the sand. You can add tiny green plants or distant waves.
