Smiling Elephant at the Taj Mahal: India Countries Coloring Page
Coloring guide
A friendly baby elephant stands next to a long reflecting pool in front of the Taj Mahal, and that wide smile is hard to resist. Its patterned blanket has a lotus flower on the side, plus tassels, and the elephant also wears ornate anklets and a headpiece. The big domed building rises behind it with small domes, arched windows and tall minarets on both sides. Its reflection shows in the water, where lotus flowers and lily pads float up front. Tall cypress trees, leafy bushes, flower beds and puffy clouds fill out the garden, and a flag waves on the right. Soft pinks and golds would look nice on the blanket, with bright green lily pads. This free printable is handy for classroom time or a rainy day. Browse more Countries coloring pages, or explore Math Pixel Art and Calendar for even more fun.
