Little Elephant Stretching for Berries on a Branch
Coloring guide
On a patch of grass, a cheerful baby elephant stretches its trunk way up to touch a leafy branch hanging from a tall tree on the right. It looks up with big round eyes and an open, smiling mouth, and its large floppy ear and tufted tail are easy to spot. Small clusters of round berries hang from the branch among lots of pointed leaves, and a few grass tufts sit around its feet. Bold, clean outlines and roomy spaces suit preschoolers and early elementary kids, and the leaf and bark details give older children more to shade. Gray or blue-gray for the elephant, red berries and several greens for the leaves is a good starting point. Anyone who likes coloring can print this one for free. Love this Elephant coloring page?
