Elephant Calf Stretching for Tree Leaves

Coloring guide
Standing on four sturdy legs, this happy baby elephant reaches its long trunk up toward a leafy branch that hangs from a tall tree on the right. Its round eye looks upward, its mouth is open in a grin with the tongue showing, and one big ear curves out to the side. The tail ends in a small tuft shaped a bit like a leaf. A few grass tufts dot the ground, and a rounded bush sits on each side, so there's room for both bold and careful coloring. Small hands will manage the large shapes on the ears and body, while the leaves and bark give older kids some finer work. Blue-gray suits the elephant, with pink for the ears and tongue and fresh greens on the leaves and bushes. A nice free page for a quiet afternoon or a classroom animal activity.

- 1Start with the elephant's body, legs, and head using soft gray, leaving the eye whites and tusk-free areas as they are.
- 2Color the big ear and the top of the head with soft gray, then add the soft pink cap on top of the head and the tongue.
- 3Fill the tree leaves with leaf green and the lighter leaves with light green, keeping the small gaps between leaves white.
- 4Color the branch with warm brown and the small dark leaf on the left with charcoal gray.
- 5Color the background bush with grass green and fill the toenails with cream.
- 6Optional: Add a little darker gray shading under the ear and along the legs for depth, and leave the eye shine white.
