Monkey Hanging Upside Down by Its Tail on a Vine

A smiling cartoon monkey hangs upside down from a leafy vine, with its long tail curled around the branch. The vine stretches across the top of the page with big, pointed leaves along both sides. The monkey has its arms and legs spread out, round ears, big eyes, and an open mouth showing a little tongue. Its head hangs at the bottom of the page, so kids get a fun view of a face turned upside down. The leaves are large and simple, which makes them easy for small hands to color. Try using several shades of green on the leaves, like light green near the tips and darker green near the stem. Then pick warm browns for the fur and a softer tan for the face, hands, and feet. This free printable is also a nice starting point for a talk about how monkeys use their tails to climb and hang.
