Did you know? Mickey Mouse was originally called Mortimer, but Walt Disneys wife convinced him to change the name to Mickey Mouse when she thought Mortimer sounded too old for the character.

Creative Coloring Ideas:
• Here are five ways to color the Mickey Mouse picture:
• 1) Traditional colors: The classic red shorts, yellow shoes and gloves, white gloves and a black shirt will be sure to bring out Mickeys iconic look.
• 2) Pastel colors: Use pastel shades to create a soft and whimsical effect. Light blue for his gloves, pink for his shorts, white with grey shadows on his face and black for his eyes and nose.
• 3) Neon colors: For a fun twist, try using neon colors like green, orange, pink and yellow. This will give the image a modern and vibrant look.
• 4) Monochromatic: Use one color throughout the entire picture to create a bold and striking effect. A dark blue or purple would work well for this style.
