Fun Facts for Kids
- Hump Myths: Camels don’t actually store water in their humps; they store fat, which gives them energy for long desert journeys!
- Desert Goggles: Camels have three eyelids and two rows of eyelashes to keep sand out of their eyes.
- Speedy Walkers: Despite their bulky appearance, camels can run up to 40 miles per hour in short bursts.
- Thirsty Travelers: A thirsty camel can drink up to 30 gallons of water in just 13 minutes!
- Two Kinds: There are two main types of camels: Dromedary (one hump) and Bactrian (two humps).
Tips for Coloring
- Natural Tones: Use various shades of brown, tan, and cream to give the camel’s fur a realistic, textured look.
- Vibrant Backgrounds: Don’t forget the desert! Use bright yellows and oranges for the sand, and deep blues or purples for a night sky.
- Mixed Media: Try using watercolors for the large desert sky areas and colored pencils for the fine details of the camel’s fur.
- Creative Outfits: For whimsical pages like the “Pirate Camel,” feel free to use bold, non-traditional colors to make the character pop.
