Tips for Coloring
- Start Light: If you're using colored pencils or crayons, start with a light hand. You can always make the colors darker, but it's hard to make them lighter.

- Backgrounds: Don’t forget the background! Koalas live in eucalyptus trees, so you can add some green leaves or a blue sky to complete the picture.
