Paddling Patterns: A Duckling's Debut

Fun Fact

Did you know that ducklings can swim almost immediately after hatching? Their mothers teach them to find food and stay safe in the water!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Finesse - Use light, feathery strokes in varying shades of yellow, orange, or brown to give the duckling's intricate feathers a soft, fluffy texture.
2. 2🖍️ Pattern Play - Choose contrasting or complementary colors for the different patterns on the lily pads. Try using two shades of green, or green with a touch of purple or blue to make them stand out.
3. 3✨ Watery Wonders - Use blues, greens, and even a hint of grey for the water. Blend them gently to create the illusion of calm ripples and the tiny splash around the duckling.
4. 4🌈 Depth and Detail - Add subtle shadows under the duckling and lily pads using darker shades of your chosen colors to give the scene depth and make it truly pop!
