Monkey Dangling Upside Down With a Curly Vine

A cartoon monkey hangs upside down from a thick tree branch, with its tail looped over the wood and one hand gripping the branch above. Its other hand holds a long, curling vine at the bottom of the page, and one arm is raised in a little wave with the fingers curled into a circle. The monkey has a big smile, round ears, wide eyes, and tufts of fur on its head, arms, and body. Leaves sprout from the branch at the top and on the right side. The wide shapes and clear outlines work well for crayons or markers. Try browns and tans for the branch and fur, then greens for the leaves and vine. Kids can also talk about how real monkeys use their tails and hands to climb. You can print it free at home or for a classroom.
