Create a mini field guide: Write the bird’s name, habitat, and fun facts under each colored page; staple into a booklet.
Practice real-world palettes: Look up common backyard birds (sparrow, robin, cardinal, blue jay) and match plumage colors.
Try mixed media: Colored pencils for feathers, markers for outlines, a light watercolor wash for sky and foliage.
Craft time: Turn finished pages into bookmarks, greeting cards, door signs, or a wall “aviary” gallery.
STEM add-on: Compare beak shapes (curved, cone, long, slender) and discuss how birds use them for seeds, nectar, or fish.

Level up details: Add background elements—nests, blossoms, insects, clouds, or distant mountains—to tell a story.
Texture like a pro: Use short pencil strokes to suggest feather barbs; add white-gel highlights on eyes and beaks.
Palette challenge: Color the same bird three ways: realistic, pastel “kawaii,” and bold tropical scheme.
Display & protect: Mount on cardstock, laminate for placemats, or collect in a binder with plastic sleeves.
