About this coloring page
A happy monkey stands upright, beaming with its eyes closed, holding a curved banana across its body. Its face sits inside a heart-shaped outline, its round ears stick out on each side, and a long tail curls into a spiral beside its legs. Its hands and feet are big and simple to color.
Coloring ideas
Browns are the natural choice: a darker brown for the fur and a light tan for the face, ears, hands and feet. The banana can be bright yellow with a brown tip. Add jungle vines, big leaves and a few more bananas around the monkey to fill the page with color.
Skills practiced
Bananas are a fun way to start talking about fruit colors: yellow bananas, red strawberries, green grapes. You can also play a counting game by drawing a bunch of bananas and counting them together, or act out monkey movements as a quick brain break.
Printing tips
Kids often want to color this twice, once realistic and once silly, so print two copies. Thick crayons suit the big shapes, and a green crayon for leafy jungle doodles finishes it off.
