About the Peacock

The peacock is famous for the male's magnificent train of shimmering feathers, marked with rows of jewel-like eye-spots in blue, green and gold. Spread wide into a great fan, the display is one of the most admired sights in the bird world, while the bird itself moves with a slow, stately grace.

Admired the world over for its splendor and color, the peacock carries an easy, universal appeal and a sense of beauty and pride. Its dazzling shape makes it a rewarding and uplifting subject to color, splendid to display once finished.

Benefits as a Coloring & Brain Training Activity

For coloring, the many round eye-spots are wonderfully absorbing to fill one by one, and choosing blues, greens and golds lets you bring out the shimmer in your own way. Using light and dark shades to suggest the sheen of the feathers is satisfying practice that gently holds the attention and engages the mind.
