Skills practiced & tips

1. Line up the crayons in key order and say each number with its color before anyone begins.
2. Four of the seven spaces are number 1, so the brown crayon does most of the work on the head, wing, tail and twig.
3. Outline the brown wing first, since it sits right on top of the orange body.
4. Leave the eye ring white, because it has no number.
5. Use a sharp yellow pencil for the beak so the two points of the open mouth stay neat.

Bird fun facts

• The American robin has a gray-brown back and an orange-red breast, much like this bird once it is colored.
• Robin eggs are a pale blue, a shade so familiar that it is often called robin's egg blue.
• Feathers are made of keratin, the same protein found in human hair and nails.

Classroom ideas

• Preschool (ages 3 to 5): count the four spaces marked 1 before coloring, then count the brown parts again at the end.
• Kindergarten or Grade 1: read the four color words in the key aloud, then point to one part of the bird for each color.
• Grade 2: after coloring, look at photos of a robin and talk about how the brown and orange key copies a real songbird.
