A cozy elephant looks for shade under its favorite tree
What makes this motif so special is the mix of large, simple areas and small details to discover. Your child can color the elephant's wrinkly skin, give the tree's leaves different shades of green, and maybe even add a few blades of grass or flowers on the ground. Plenty of room for imagination and steady little hands.
Coloring idea: Playing with light and shadow
A nice tip for this picture: try out together how light and shadow can be shown with colors. The leaves the sun shines through can be painted in a lighter yellow-green, while the leaves in the shade get a darker green. The elephant itself can stay gray, just like in nature, or turn purple or blue, depending on your child's mood and imagination.
Shades of brown work well for the tree bark, which you can mix with a bit of black or orange to add texture. And the ground beneath the tree can shine in a warm sandy tone or a lush meadow green, depending on where the elephant is in your imagination. Simply download the coloring page for free and print it out at home in A4 size, and the cozy coloring afternoon can begin.
