Coloring Tips
- Go Wild with Color! Peacocks are known for their iridescent blue and green bodies and feathers, but don't feel limited! You can use shades of teal, emerald green, royal blue, and even hints of purple. The "eyes" on their tail feathers are often outlined in dark colors with bright centers.
- Mix and Match: Try using different shades of the same color to add depth. For example, use a light blue for some parts of the feathers and a darker blue for others.
- Sparkle and Shine: If you have glitter glue or metallic crayons, this is the perfect page to make your peacock truly shimmer and shine, just like a real one!
- Background Fun: Don't forget the background! You could draw a simple tree, some grass, or even a sunny sky to complete your peacock's natural habitat.
- Stay Within the Lines: For younger children, encourage them to take their time and try to stay within the lines, but most importantly, have fun and express themselves!
Fun Facts
- Did you know that only male peacocks, called peacocks, have those amazing, long tail feathers? The females are called peahens, and they have much shorter, plainer tails.
- A group of peacocks is called a "muster" or an "ostentation." Imagine seeing a muster of these colorful birds all together!
- Peacocks use their magnificent tail feathers not just to attract peahens, but also to scare away predators. When they fan their tails, the "eyes" on the feathers can look like big, watchful eyes!
- Those impressive tail feathers can grow up to 6 feet long, making up more than 60% of the peacock's total body length. They shed these feathers every year after mating season, and new ones grow back!
- Despite their large tails, peacocks can fly! They usually fly short distances, like into trees to roost at night, but it's quite a sight to behold.
