Crisscross Necks: Two Giraffes Side by Side
Coloring guide
Two young giraffes stand next to each other with their long necks crossed like an X, cheeks almost touching and soft smiles on both faces. Each has big eyes with lashes, rounded ossicones topped with little tufts, and a coat of uneven patches that are a good size for crayons or markers. Behind them, two flat-topped acacia trees and a few rounded bushes sit along a low horizon, with small grass tufts around their feet. Their tails, with fluffy tips, curl out at the sides. Warm yellow and orange patches go well with deep green acacia tops, or let your child choose a favorite color for each giraffe. Print this free page for a fun afternoon at the table. Add this to your Giraffe coloring page collection, alongside Crab and Wolves.
