Monkey with a Knotted Tail Hanging from a Branch

A cartoon monkey hangs upside down from a curving branch, with its long tail looped over the branch and tied in a little knot. Its arms stretch down and out to the sides, and its hands reach toward the bottom of the page. The monkey has a big smile, three round dark spots for the eyes and nose, small round ears, and a few tufts of hair on its head. Small leaves sprout from the branch on both the left and right sides. The outlines are bold and the shapes are large, so this free printable works well for younger kids with chunky crayons. Try coloring the body a warm brown and the leaves in two shades of green. Then talk about how monkeys use their tails to hold on while they hang from branches.
