How do animals blend in with their surroundings? Their coats and feathers help them survive. Use your imagination to imitate Mother Nature’s handiwork. Draw an Imaginary Animal!

Most creatures can be identified by their distinctive patterns, markings, or colors. There is no mistaking a zebra for a horse. Find out why snakes, birds, animals, fish, and insects have distinct markings. Share information with your classmates. Then use your imagination to create a uniquely patterned animal of your own.

Using Crayola® Color Switchers™ Markers, create the most colorful creature you can dream up. Place your animal in a pretend setting, too.
