Zebra Nibbling a Tuft of Grass

Coloring guide
Here's a happy zebra with its head bent low, munching on a little tuft of grass. It has a round eye, a small smile and perky ears that make it look gentle and content. Wide curved stripes cover the body, a spiky striped mane runs down the neck, and a tufted tail swishes out behind. A few clumps of grass sit by its nose and feet, and the rest of the page is plain white. Because the stripes are big and clearly outlined, younger kids can color them without much fuss, and older children can shade the legs and neck. For something playful, make every other stripe deep blue or purple instead of black, then finish the grass in fresh greens. A free printable for quiet time at home or in class.
