Cute Pangolin

Meet this curious young pangolin, a gentle woodland explorer wearing a natural coat of overlapping protective scales. Children can colour the scales with warm browns, sandy gold, bronze, caramel or soft grey, using slightly different shades from row to row to show the beautiful pattern. Try pale cream or light tan on the face and belly, dark brown on the claws, and pink inside the tiny ears. Add fresh green to the grass and bush, bright colours to the flowers, and pale blue to the clouds. Colour each scale slowly inside the bold lines, leave small white highlights on the eyes, and draw ants, leaves, sunshine or a little burrow in the open spaces to complete this pangolin’s peaceful home.
