Giraffe Stretching for Leaves, Free Animals Printable
Coloring guide
Here a young giraffe reaches its long, spotted neck toward a leafy branch, tongue out and ready for a bite. It has two small ossicones on its head, a big friendly eye, one large ear and a tufted tail that curls at the back. The body is covered in rounded, patchy spots of different sizes, which are easy for little hands to fill in. A tall tree trunk on the right holds up a cluster of leaves, while a few rounded bushes sit in the background and small grass tufts dot the ground. Golden yellow for the coat with warm brown spots and fresh greens for the leaves should look good. Kids who love animals and nature scenes will enjoy this free printable.
