Here are five easy ways you can ask the question without saying the word "colour":
- What does the snowy owl look like?
- What do the snowy owl's feathers look like?
- How do the snowy owl's feathers appear?
- What patterns or markings does the snowy owl have?
- Is the snowy owl mostly white, dark, or a mix?
Pick any one of these to ask a friend or teacher — they're all simple for a 6-year-old to use.
