🐹 Fun facts about capybaras
While the crayons glide across the paper, this is the perfect moment for a little story. Capybaras come from South America, where they live in groups along riverbanks and are known for being extremely social — they'll even let birds, rabbits, and other animals perch on them without minding at all.
🎨 Creative tip: What to do with the finished picture?
Finished coloring? Cut it out and stick it up as bathroom decor next to the tub — it fits right in! ✂️
🎨 What colors suit a capybara?
Capybaras are fairly plain-colored in nature — which makes this a great design for early color-mixing practice:
For the fur — the natural capybara color
For the water in the hot tub
For the round wooden tub itself
For the rising steam clouds
💡 Coloring tip: Keep the steam light with just a soft gray hatching — that way it looks airy instead of too heavy.
