Cute Swan

Meet this graceful swan, a gentle water bird with a long curved neck, smooth rounded body, strong webbed feet and beautifully layered wing feathers. Swans glide across lakes using their feet like paddles and carefully preen their feathers to keep them neat and water-resistant. Children can leave the body snowy white with pale blue or soft grey shadows, or invent a magical pink, golden or rainbow swan. Colour the beak bright orange with a black base patch, make the lake clear blue, and use fresh greens for the reeds and lily pads. Add yellow, pink or purple to the little flower and pale blue to the clouds. Work feather by feather, keep the eye sparkle white, and decorate the open water with fish, bubbles, dragonflies or extra water lilies.
