Coloring ideas for Toad
Toads are usually brown, olive green, or gray with darker spots, but yours can be any color you dream up! Use earthy colors like brown, tan, or dark green for a natural look, or go wild with purple, red, or even glittery blue. Their bumpy skin is fun to decorate with dots and patterns. You can color their big eyes yellow, orange, or gold to make them pop. Add a background with green lily pads, muddy banks, tall grass, and maybe even a buzzing dragonfly or two to make your pond scene come alive.

What is a Toad?
Toads are a type of amphibian, closely related to frogs, but with dry, bumpy skin and shorter legs. They are often brown or gray and can blend in with the ground around ponds, forests, and gardens. Toads don’t hop as far as frogs do, but they’re great at walking and crawling. They weigh just a few ounces and can live up to 10 or even 15 years in the wild. Toads love to eat insects, spiders, and other small creatures, using their long sticky tongues to catch food. They make soft croaking sounds and like to hide in cool, damp places. Even though they lay their eggs in water, adult toads usually spend most of their time on land, making them excellent neighbors in the backyard or garden.
