Young Monkey Stretching Toward a Banana Bunch
Coloring guide
A smiling young monkey perches on a big banana leaf and reaches one arm up toward a large bunch of bananas hanging from the stalk above. Its tail loops up behind it, and its wide eyes and open mouth show how excited it is. Large ribbed banana leaves cover the top and bottom of the page, with a few small leafy tufts in the background. Below the banana bunch hangs a pointed banana flower bud made of layered petals. Big, clearly outlined shapes make this free printable a good fit for preschoolers and early elementary kids practicing crayon control. Golden yellow bananas, warm brown fur and a few different greens for the leaves help everything stand apart. Add this to your Monkey coloring page collection, alongside Dragonfly and Goat.
