Giraffe Calf with a Big Smile and Bold Spots
Coloring guide
This cheerful baby giraffe faces forward with a wide smile, round shiny eyes with little lashes, and two big ears poking out to the sides. A small tuft of hair sits between the knobby horns. The long neck has large oval spots that are easy to color, and more spots cover the body and legs. The fluffy tail tuft curls out to the right. There's no background, so kids can draw their own extras if they feel like it. Thick, clean lines make it a good match for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Warm yellow for the body and soft brown or orange for the spots looks nice, with a darker shade for the tail tuft and hooves. Free to print as a PDF for home or class. Fans of Giraffe coloring pages often like Wolves and Lion as well.
