Monkey Reaching Down with a Banana from a Branch

A smiling monkey hangs from a leafy branch by one long arm, with its hand wrapped around the stem. The other arm reaches down and holds a single banana. Its tail curls into a spiral on the left, one leg kicks out to the right, and the other leg dangles straight below. The monkey has big round eyes, small round ears, a little nose, and an oval patch on its belly with a tiny belly button. Leaves sit in groups at both ends of the branch. The lines are clean and the shapes are large, so younger kids can color them easily. Try brown or orange for the body, a lighter tan for the face and belly oval, and yellow for the banana. Printing a few copies lets kids try different leaf greens and compare the results.
