Mama Giraffe Nuzzling Her Calf

Coloring guide
Here a tall mother giraffe lowers her long neck toward her little calf, and both of them are smiling. Mom has big eyes with eyelashes, a rounded nose, two knobbed horns, and large oval spots running down her neck and body. The baby stands snug against her side with a curious look up at her, plus small spots, tiny horns, and a tufted tail. You'll see a few grass tufts in the bottom corners, and the rest of the page is plain white. Big spots are simple for small hands, and the tiny spots and tail tufts give older kids more to do. Golden yellow bodies with warm brown spots would make them look like a real family. It's a free printable that suits animal units, Mother's Day, or a quiet afternoon coloring at home or school.
