Parrot Threading Beads Coloring Page

About this page

A small parrot stands in three-quarter view at the left, a feathered crest sweeping back from its head, and holds up a short strand of round beads in one wing while the other wing rests against its body. The strand hangs in a loose curve with a clasp near the top, with beads that look like round, evenly sized circles. Its hooked beak is open in a smile, and the eye is large with a bright highlight. Layered feathers on the wings overlap in scalloped rows, and a long tail stretches toward the lower left. The feet grip the bottom of the page with spread toes. Because the beads are separate round shapes, a child can color each one differently. This medium page is a good fit for kids who like jewelry and craft themes.
