Coloring guide for every monster in 'Super Duper You' by Sophy Henn — for a 4-year-old

Hello! Let’s color the monsters from Super Duper You together. These ideas are simple and fun for a 4-year-old. You can follow the suggestions or pick your own colors — there’s no wrong choice!

1. Get ready
   • Crayons, washable markers or colored pencils
   • A flat, clean table and a scrap paper for testing colors
   • Ask an adult to help if the paper is in a book
2. Coloring steps for each monster

   Do these steps for every monster: color big areas first, then small parts (eyes, teeth, spots), then add decorations like stripes or sparkles.

   • Monster 1 — Big round monster: Bright blue body, pink cheeks, yellow horns. Color the big round belly first with blue, then add little pink circles for cheeks.
   • Monster 2 — Tall stripy monster: Green body with orange stripes. Color the body green, then draw or color the stripes orange across the tummy.
   • Monster 3 — One-eyed monster: Purple body, green eye, blue spots. Make the big eye green and dot blue spots on the purple body.
   • Monster 4 — Furry monster: Rainbow fur! Pick 2–3 colors (pink, yellow, light blue) and make short strokes to look fuzzy.
   • Monster 5 — Tiny polka-dot monster: Yellow body with red polka dots and green hands. Color the small body sunny yellow, then add red dots.
   • Monster 6 — Winged monster: Teal body, purple wings, silver or gray claws. Color wings a different color so they stand out.
   • Monster 7 — Spiky monster: Red body, black or dark brown spikes, white teeth. Color spikes carefully with a darker crayon.
   • Monster 8 — Smiley monster: Soft pastel combo — pink body, mint belly, gold crown or yellow hat. Make this one gentle and friendly.
3. Easy tips for a 4-year-old
   • Use big, slow strokes — it helps keep color even.
   • Test a crayon on scrap paper first to see the color.
   • Say the color names out loud as you color (blue, green, red) — it’s fun and helps learning.
   • If colors go outside the lines, that’s okay — it still looks great!
   • Show your picture to an adult and say "Look! I colored the monster!"
4. Finishing
   • Let markers dry for a minute so they don’t smudge.
   • Clean up crayons together — put them back in their box.
   • Praise: "Super Duper job!"

If you want, tell me which monster you finished first and what color you used — I can suggest more fun details to add (like stars, stripes or glitter)!
