About this coloring page
A smiling baby giraffe stands on four long legs with small hooves, its neck stretching up to a friendly face with long lashes. Two short horns with round tips sit on top of its head, a short mane runs down the back of the neck, and big circle spots cover its body and neck. A thin tail ends in a little brush.
Coloring ideas
Fill the spots in orange, brown or caramel and keep the body pale yellow or cream, or flip it around for a creamy giraffe with dark spots. A rainbow giraffe with every spot a new color is a fun option. Leave room above for treetops and a blue sky, since giraffes nibble leaves high up.
Skills practiced
The spots are a ready-made counting activity: count the spots on the neck, then the body, and add the two numbers together. Comparing the long neck and legs with a short animal like the turtle invites talk about tall, taller and tallest, and why a long neck helps a giraffe reach food.
Printing tips
The page prints tall and narrow, so it fits nicely in a row of animal pages on a classroom wall. Crayons are enough here; colored pencils let older kids add a soft shadow along one side of the neck.
