How to Make the Most of These Coloring Pages: 

1. Turn It Into a Lesson: Pair coloring with fun facts! Ask:  

   - “Why do camels have humps?” (They store fat, not water—myth busted!)  

   - “How do fennec foxes stay cool?” (Those giant ears radiate heat!)  

2. Try Different Art Tools: Swap crayons for:  

   - Watercolor paints (for a sandy-wash effect).  

   - Colored pencils (to shade scaly lizards or furry jackrabbits).  

3. Create a Desert Diorama: Cut out colored animals and glue them to a shoebox with sand, pebbles, and paper cacti!  

4. Share Their Masterpieces: Snap a photo and tag us on social media—we’d love to see their colorful critters!
