Sweet Giraffe Snacking on a Leafy Twig
Coloring guide
With big eyes looking right at you, this baby giraffe happily nibbles a leafy twig and wears a sweet smile. It has long eyelashes, shiny round eyes, two fluffy ossicones, and big ears. Rounded patches cover its face and long neck, and a scalloped mane runs down the back of the neck. The leaves in its mouth are large and simple, so little hands can fill them in with ease. With no background, the giraffe stays the focus and there's lots of white space. Soft yellow for the body, orange-brown patches, and fresh green leaves is a nice combo. Thick outlines work well with crayons or markers for preschoolers and early elementary kids. This free PDF makes a calm activity at home or school. Kids who like Giraffe coloring pages usually enjoy Wolves and Lion too.
