The Great Grapefruit Pond Voyage

Fun Fact

Did you know that squirrels are incredibly clever and resourceful? They can remember where they bury thousands of nuts and often use natural objects around them in surprising ways, just like our friend using a grapefruit as a boat and a leaf as a paddle!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Fluffy Squirrel Fur** - Use short, feathery strokes with shades of brown, gray, and a touch of cream to give your squirrel a soft, realistic fur texture.
2. 2🖍️ **Zesty Grapefruit Boat** - Think about the vibrant yellows and oranges of a real grapefruit peel. Add tiny dots or lines to suggest the bumpy texture of its skin.
3. 3✨ **Sparkling Pond Water** - For the water, layer blues, greens, and even some light purples. Leave tiny white spaces or use a white crayon for highlights to show reflections and ripples.
4. 4🌈 **Lush Lily Pads & Reeds** - Use various shades of green for the broad lily pads and tall reeds. For the water lilies, choose soft pinks, whites, or yellows, focusing on shading to make their petals pop.
