Cute Wombat

Meet this cheerful young wombat, a sturdy Australian burrow builder with a broad head, small ears, strong digging paws, a tiny tail and a round barrel-shaped body. Children can colour the thick fur warm grey, chocolate brown, sandy tan or cinnamon, then use a lighter cream or caramel shade on the muzzle, cheeks and belly. Try pink or peach inside the ears, dark brown for the claws, and black or deep brown for the nose. Add blue-green and olive to the eucalyptus leaves, fresh greens to the bush and grass, bright colours to the wildflowers, warm grey to the stones, earthy brown around the burrow, and pale blue to the clouds. Colour slowly inside the bold lines, leave tiny white eye highlights, and draw gum nuts, butterflies or sunshine in the open spaces.
