Monkey Scratching Its Head While Holding a Banana

A cartoon monkey sits on the ground with a relaxed smile, holding a half-peeled banana in one hand with the peel hanging down in strips. The other arm is raised up to the top of its head, as if it is scratching or resting its hand there. A few tufts of fur stick up from its head, and there is more fur around its cheeks, shoulders, and chest. Its long tail curls up behind the body in a big loop, and its feet are tucked in front. The thick outlines and large open areas make this page a good fit for younger kids using chunky crayons. Try coloring the banana bright yellow and the peel a slightly different shade, then talk about what monkeys like to eat. The big tail is a nice spot for a pattern or a second brown shade. You can print it free at home or for class.
