Wild Animal Coloring: Ideas & Surprises to Try
Coloring is about more than just filling in the lines, it’s a chance to wonder what it’s actually like to be these animals. Imagine napping in the warm grass like a lion cub or looking out at the horizon from an ostrich’s height. Sometimes, all you need is a fresh color to make the page feel completely yours.
Try mixing up your tools. Don’t feel stuck with just crayons. You can use markers for bold outlines, then do soft shading with colored pencils. If you have watercolors, a tiny bit of paint can make the sky or rivers look really dreamy. And if you want a polka-dot tiger or a rainbow warthog? Go for it.
Fun ways to use your pages:
- Draw the world: Does your elephant live near a waterfall? Is that meerkat watching a sunset? Sketch in a background to tell a bigger story.
- Show it off: Cut out your finished animal and tape it to a window or the fridge. It’s an instant decoration.
- Hide and seek: If you like puzzles, draw a tiny hidden bug or lizard somewhere in the background for someone else to find.
- The buddy challenge: Print two copies of the same page and give one to a friend. It’s really cool to compare them at the end and see how different they look.
- Storytime: Write a speech bubble or a short comic strip at the bottom. What is that monkey actually thinking?
Did you know? While you color, think about this: elephants actually use those huge ears to release body heat and cool down. And gazelles? They can leap over three meters straight into the air to escape predators [2]. If you look up a quick fact about your animal before you start, you’ll notice all sorts of cool details you might have missed before.
