Tips for Coloring These Smiling Critters Pages
These pages have bold, clear outlines, so crayons or markers work great for filling in the Critters’ signature colors. For detailed group scenes like the playground or party pages, colored pencils give you more control in smaller spaces.
Pro Tip: Want that soft plush look? Use short, quick strokes in one direction to make the fur look fluffy. And here’s a trick for the pendants — leave a tiny white spot uncolored to create a sparkling highlight effect!
