Poison Dart Frog With Spot Patterns Coloring Page

Spots of several different sizes cover this frog from nose to back leg, and every one of them is drawn as an open outline with nothing filled in. That is the whole point of the sheet. A real poison dart frog wears bright colors as a warning, so this is the page in the set where loud color is the correct answer rather than a compromise. Blue with black spots copies the blue poison dart frog of Suriname. Yellow with black copies the golden dart frog. Red with black legs copies the strawberry dart frog. Any of the three will look right. The frog sits low and square on four legs, which is how these frogs actually hold themselves, and the pose leaves plenty of open skin between the spots for a background tone. Color the spots first, then fill the skin around them, because working the other way round means fighting the spot outlines with a blunt pencil. There are around twenty spots, so this one rewards patience more than speed.
