Extra: Ideas and Fun Facts
Coloring is more than just filling in spaces, it can spark curiosity about the natural world and stretch your creative muscles.
While you work on these pages, you might want to turn it into a little adventure. Try drawing extra details in the background, like mushrooms, hidden nests, or a gentle rain shower.
If you’re coloring with others, share your favorite forest animal facts or see who can invent the silliest name for a new animal friend.
Here are some fun ways to add even more to your coloring time:
- Make up a story about your animal’s day in the forest and tell it to someone else.
- Look up a short video about one of the animals you’re coloring and see how it moves or sounds.
- Try a “color swap” challenge, where you color an animal in unusual shades, maybe a purple squirrel or a polka-dotted fox.
- Collect real leaves or small sticks from outside and use them to decorate your finished page, turning it into a mixed-media art project.
Some quick facts to share: Baby hedgehogs are called hoglets, otters sometimes hold hands while they nap, and the Steller’s jay is great at mimicking different sounds. Did you know anacondas can hold their breath underwater for up to ten minutes? [2]
The forest is full of surprises, and there’s always something new to learn or imagine.
