Rainy Day Chameleon with a Leaf Umbrella
Coloring guide
Raindrops are falling, but this cheerful big-eyed chameleon stays dry by holding a large leaf over its head like an umbrella. It perches on a leafy branch with its tail curled into a spiral underneath. There's a lot to color on its body: spots on the head and cheek, curved stripes along the side and a bumpy ridge down the back. Grass tufts sit in both bottom corners, a puddle ripples at the base, and a few more leaves sprout from the branch. Crayons and markers work well on the large shapes and clear outlines, while the spots and stripes give older kids something to focus on. Lime green with orange and yellow spots is fun, and a deep teal leaf makes a good umbrella. It's a free printable made for a rainy afternoon at home or school. Fans of Chameleon coloring pages often like Puppies and Cats as well.
