🎨 How to color it

Color the monkey warm brown with a peach face and belly, make the striped party hat sky blue and lemon yellow, and give the balloons cherry red, teal, and purple. Use chunky crayons or markers for the big balloon circles and the monkey’s round tummy, saving a sharper crayon tip for the tiny stars and cupcake sprinkles. Add one surprise color, like bright orange, only on the gift bow so it pops beside the monkey’s waving hand.

The party room smelled like sugar icing and shiny rubber balloons. Jax sat by the striped present, tapping one toe, waiting for the first pop. “Any minute now,” he whispered, grinning at the floating bunch above him.

The ribbons wiggled. The candle flickered. Still, no balloon popped. Jax counted the sprinkles on the cupcake, then counted the stars hanging over the table. When he finally leaned close to the gift bow, it made a tiny crinkle-crinkle sound.

Out slid a paper crumb, no bigger than a sprinkle. It said, WAIT FOR THE CUPCAKE. Jax blinked. Then the candle gave a happy puff, and the frosting lifted like a little door. Inside was one teeny party horn. Pweee! Next time you spot Jax waving by the cupcake, see if he looks like he waited for that pop.
