Pumbaa Peering Down at Timon in a Grassy Nest

A big warthog with curved tusks and a wide smile leans over the scene while looking down at a small meerkat. The warthog has a tuft of wiry hair on top of its head, a long tail with a fluffy tip curling up behind it, and four hooved feet. The meerkat stands in a round nest of grass in the lower left corner, arms crossed and eyebrows pulled down in a grumpy look. Behind them are palm-like plants, leafy bushes, a few tufts of grass and a sloping rocky bank. The large shapes are easy for small hands, and the grass strands add finer detail for older kids. Try warm browns and pinks for the warthog, then sandy yellows and golds for the straw nest so the little meerkat stands out. This free printable also works well for talking about big and small.
