Snuggly Baby Robin's First Home

Fun Fact

Did you know that American Robins build sturdy cup-shaped nests using mud and grass, often reinforced with twigs and leaves? Baby robins, called nestlings, grow very quickly and are ready to leave the nest in about two weeks!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Fluffy Feathers - Use short, soft strokes with light browns, creams, and very pale oranges to create the fluffy texture of the baby robin's downy feathers.
2. 2🖍️ Intricate Nest - Experiment with various shades of brown, grey, and even some dark green for the twigs and woven materials of the nest, adding tiny lines to emphasize its detailed structure.
3. 3✨ Delicate Blooms - For the blossoms and leaves, use gentle pastels like soft pinks, yellows, and light greens. Add tiny highlights with a lighter color to make them look fresh and dewy.
4. 4🌈 Protective Parent - Use softer, slightly muted versions of robin colors (like a duller orange-red and grey-brown) for the parent robin in the background, ensuring the baby remains the focal point of your masterpiece.
