Smiling Monkey Hanging From a Leafy Vine

A happy monkey clings to a long vine with one arm while its legs stretch out to the side, with a foot resting near the bottom left. The round face has a big smile, two small oval eyes, and a heart-shaped patch around the nose and mouth. One rounded ear sticks out on the right, and the tail curls into a neat spiral at the lower right. A leaf sits at the top of the vine and another peeks out near the bottom. The lines are thick and the shapes are large, which makes this an easy page for younger kids to color. Try brown for the body and a lighter tan for the face patch, ears, and the stripes on the arm and leg, then add two shades of green to the leaves. The tail spiral is good practice for small hands working on controlled circles.
