Imagine a beautiful bird, big and bright, with feathers that look like fire – all red, orange, and gold! 🔥 Its eyes shine like glowing coals. This amazing bird can fly high in the sky, and sometimes it's surrounded by flames. But here's the coolest part: when it gets old, it bursts into fire, and then a brand new, young phoenix rises from the ashes! ✨

Can you guess what it is? ... A Phoenix! 🐦🔥

A phoenix is a magical bird from ancient legends. It's often linked to the sun and fire. The phoenix is most famous for its ability to be reborn. (If something is reborn, it comes back to life or is created again.)

Alright, young artists, it's your turn to draw! 👩‍🎨 Show us your phoenix with its fiery feathers! Will it be rising from the flames or soaring through the sky? Use bright reds, oranges, and yellows! Share your art at bykidsforkids.co and select “contact” 📧.
