Two Pond Friends: a Smiling Snake and a Little Frog

Coloring guide
A friendly cartoon snake with big sparkly eyes rises from its coils, forked tongue peeking out, grinning next to a small frog on the muddy bank. Large oval spots run down the snake's body and the belly is striped. The frog has round eyes and a wide, happy mouth. Tall cattails and grassy leaves fill both sides, and a smiling dragonfly hovers in the upper right. At the bottom, a lotus flower and flat lily pads float on gently rippling water. Lots of large shapes suit small hands, and the spots are good practice for staying inside the lines. Try a purple snake with yellow spots and a lime green frog so they stand out from the brown cattails. Fans of Snake coloring pages often like Bee and Reptiles as well.
