Cobra in a Woven Basket with Flute, Reptiles Coloring
Coloring guide
A smiling cobra with big sparkly eyes rises from a round woven basket, tongue flicking out and hood spread wide. Round spots decorate the hood and coiled body, and the belly has neat horizontal bands that are fun to color one at a time. A wooden flute with finger holes lies on the ground in front of the basket. The background is simple, with rolling desert hills, a palm tree on the right, and a few grass tufts and small stones on the sand. The basket's brick-like weave offers lots of small sections to fill in. Warm greens and yellows on the cobra, with orange and brown on the basket, will help the snake stand out. This free printable is best for preschoolers and early elementary kids who love friendly animals and have steady hands for details.
