Baby Hippo With Swirly Nostrils and Curly Tail

A chubby cartoon hippo stands in a three-quarter pose with its big round head turned toward the viewer. It has a wide, smooth snout with two swirly nostrils, small dot eyes, and a little curved smile. The ears are rounded with inner ear outlines, and four stubby legs hold up a plump body. Several solid black spots sit across the back and rump, and a thin tail ends in a tiny tuft with jagged tips. The thick outlines and large open areas make this an easy page for small hands, and you can print it for free. Try letting kids pick a color for the hippo's body, then talk about where real hippos live and why they love water. The spots are already filled in, so children can practice coloring around them.
