Lucki’s Robin Color Hunt

Go outside with a grown-up and look for colors that might help you recognize a robin. Search for orange-red, brown, gray, white, black, and blue. You may find these colors in bark, leaves, flowers, clouds, stones, or other parts of the yard. Draw a robin shape. Color it like a usual American Robin, then add a pale patch where Lucki’s leucism might show. Talk about which colors would make Lucki easy to spot and which colors might help an ordinary robin blend in. Think About It: Which colors would make Lucki stand out most against green grass or dark bark? Grandma’s reminder: “Lucki is not a mistake. Lucki is a robin with a little extra white in the paint box.”
