Wild animal coloring pages

26 coloring pages

Lions, elephants, giraffes, monkeys, tigers, pandas — and of course capybaras. Every animal gets its own funny scene: the capybara soaks in warm water with an orange on its head, a little monkey combs out the lion's tangled mane, and a giant elephant is standing on a stool because it spotted a mouse.

The easy pages with big spaces work for kids from about age 2 or 3, and the scenes with several animals and more detail suit preschoolers and elementary kids. Coloring time is a great moment to talk about where each animal lives and what it eats.

How to print the coloring page

Click “Print” and only the picture goes on the sheet, without the rest of the page. To keep the file for later, download the PDF: it's already set up with a margin, so the printer won't cut anything off.

What to do with a finished picture

Build a zoo on the wall

Cut out the colored animals, glue them onto a big sheet and draw enclosures, trees and a pond around them.

Guess who

Cover half the picture and let your child guess the animal by its mane, trunk or stripes.

Animal masks

Cut out the lion or tiger head, glue it to cardboard and punch holes for an elastic band.
