Today we continue with Australian motifs. This time, however, we delve into the animal world and learn about the unique Australian fauna. The platypus invites you to color – neither a mammal nor a reptile – just a transitional link.
Platypuses are considered mammals, although they are quite unusual for this group. They lay eggs, which is rare among mammals, and they are also poisonous. It is these features that make the platypus one of the most intriguing animals in the world.
While coloring the platypus, you can tell your children more about the Australian continent and its unique nature. The platypus is a perfect example of the incredible diversity of Australia’s fauna.

I also encourage you to try a painting technique inspired by Aboriginal art. Dotting is a traditional technique that can give your coloring page a unique look and introduce children to the world of Aboriginal culture.
Print out the coloring page, grab crayons, markers or paints, and have fun creating colorful and fascinating platypus illustrations. It’s a great way to spend time with your family, full of joy, learning and creativity. I invite you to color and have fun!
