Heron Frogs and Dragonflies

A curious great blue heron shares the marsh with friendly frogs and light dragonflies. The tall bird watches from shallow water while the smaller animals add playful details that children can find and count as they colour. Give the heron blue-grey wings, a pale neck and a sunny yellow beak. Try bright green frogs, jewel-coloured dragonflies and different greens for the marsh plants, or choose any rainbow colours you enjoy. Start with the largest bird shapes, colour each frog separately, and use a gentle touch on the thin dragonfly wings. Pale blue ripples will bring the whole lively wetland scene together.
