Cheerful Baby Zebra Head with Spiky Mane

Coloring guide
This page is all face. A happy zebra is drawn from the neck up, head turned a little to one side, mouth open in a big smile. The eyes are large and round with shiny highlights and long lashes, and the two tall pointed ears have inner outlines. A spiky tuft sits on top of the head, with a jagged mane trailing down the back of the neck. Curved stripes wrap around the face, cheeks and neck, so there are plenty of small and medium spaces to fill. With no background, the zebra pops off the white page. Thick, clean lines are good for chunky crayons, and older kids can add patterns inside the stripes. Soft pink in the ears and nose looks sweet, or try bold blue and purple stripes instead of black and white. Free to print for animal lessons or a calm afternoon. Fans of Zebra coloring pages often like Chicken and Shark as well.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start by coloring the spiky mane on the left side and the top of the head in chestnut brown, including the tips at the top.
- 2Fill the inside of both ears and the open smiling mouth with soft pink.
- 3Color the big muzzle and nose area in medium gray, leaving the small nostrils for later.
- 4Add charcoal black to the zebra stripes on the forehead, cheeks, neck and chest, keeping the white stripes between them untouched.
- 5Fill the nostrils and the dark stripes around the eyes in charcoal black, and leave the small white shine spots in both eyes and the white areas on the cheeks white.
- 6Optional: Add a few light strokes of extra gray over the muzzle or brown over the mane to give the drawing a soft, textured look.
