Sleepy Monkey Napping Under a Crescent Moon
Coloring guide
A sleepy little monkey stretches out along a thick tree branch, eyes closed and a tiny smile on its face. One arm and one leg dangle over the side, and the long tail curls into a spiral at the bottom. A big crescent moon hangs in the sky at the top right, and clusters of pointed leaves fill the corners. The branch has a few simple bark lines, and the shapes are large and clean for little hands. Warm brown fur, lighter tan for the face, ears, hands and feet, and a soft yellow moon give it a calm bedtime feel. Print or download this free page for the classroom or a rainy day.
