Cute American Bison

Meet this cheerful young American bison, a sturdy prairie friend with kind eyes, small curved horns, a high shoulder hump and a wonderfully shaggy front coat. Children can colour the thick forehead, beard and shoulders dark chocolate brown, chestnut or deep tan, then use a slightly lighter brown for the smoother back half. Try cream or pale tan for the muzzle and horn tips, dark brown for the hooves and tail tuft, and a little pink inside the ears. Add golden yellow and green to the prairie grass, bright colours to the wildflowers, and pale blue to the clouds. Colour slowly inside the thick lines, leave a few white highlights, and draw sunshine, birds or distant hills in the open spaces.
