What's In This Picture

In the center of the page, five happy characters are walking together. You can see the fuzzy bear leading the way next to a tiny squirrel. In the middle, the dog and cat are walking side by side, showing that even natural rivals can be best friends. A long-eared rabbit joins the group as they travel along the arched stripes of a large rainbow. Looking up, the sky is filled with fluffy clouds that look soft enough to touch. Floating around the animals are colorful balloons and sparkling stars, creating a festive atmosphere. Every animal has a unique shape and expression, giving you plenty of details to focus on while you work across the scene.

Coloring Tips

Since there are so many different characters, you can use a wide variety of shades to make each one stand out. You might choose warm browns for the bear and squirrel, while giving the dog and cat bright, playful colors like orange or spots of grey. For the rainbow, try using the traditional sequence of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet to create a classic look. You can leave the clouds white or add light blue shadows to give them depth. Using glitter pens on the stars would add a magical touch to the nighttime sky. If you want the balloons to pop, try using neon colors or bright primary shades to contrast with the softer sky.

Did You Know?

Did you know that rainbows are actually full circles? We usually only see half of them because the ground gets in the way. If you were in an airplane high in the sky like these animals, you might see a perfectly round rainbow. This happens because sunlight reflects inside raindrops at a specific angle.

Try This!

After you finish coloring the animal friends, try making up names for each of the five characters. You could even write a short story about where they are going on their rainbow bridge. Another fun idea is to draw more stars or even a small airplane in the background to fill in the empty spaces of the sky.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colors should I use for the squirrel?
Squirrels look great in reddish-browns or greys, but since this is a magical scene, a purple or pink squirrel would be fun too!
How can I make the clouds look fluffy?
Use a light blue or lavender crayon to shade only the bottom curves of the clouds, leaving the tops bright and white.
Can I use markers on this page?
Yes, markers work well for the bold rainbow stripes and the balloons, but crayons or colored pencils are better for the animals' fur and delicate stars.
For best results, print on standard letter size (8.5" x 11") paper using your printer's "Fit to Page" setting.
