Colouring ideas

A bright scarlet body with a black face mask makes the cardinal stand out. Colour the bare branch brown and the budding twigs with tiny touches of green or red.

Did you know?

Male cardinals are bright red while females are mostly brown with red edges, and both have a pointed crest of feathers on their heads.

Try this

Look out of a window together for real birds, then count the twigs on the branch in the picture.
