The bill is what children notice first, and it is the best part to color. The well-known toco toucan has a bright orange bill with a black tip, while the keel-billed toucan has a bill striped in green, orange, red and blue. Most toucans have black bodies with a yellow or white throat. Use the page to talk about how a big bill can still be very light.
Color the black body with a gray or dark blue crayon first, then lightly add black on top. This keeps the feathers from looking like one flat patch. Save the brightest crayons for the bill so it really pops.
