Donkey Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The donkey is the farm animal with the long ears and the loud hee-haw, and the page gives it a field of its own: a friendly donkey standing in a meadow with both ears up, a short tufted mane, a small wooden fence beside it, soft hills behind, a few grass tufts at its feet and three clouds in the sky.
The body is one big rounded shape for broad strokes, the ears are two tall ovals to fill, and the fence is a row of posts and rails to trace. The mane and the tail tuft are the small careful parts for whoever wants them, and the hills are two soft curves across the back of the page.
Ask what sound the donkey makes and why its ears are so long. Then wiggle your own ears (or try to), and the page becomes the farm visit a child remembers for the hee-haw alone.
Skills Practiced
How to Use This Coloring Page
- Fill the donkey first. The big body and the long face in one colour, then the ears, then the mane and tail tuft in another.
- Then the fence. Each post, then the two rails. A finger first, then a crayon.
- Hills, grass and clouds last. Two soft hills, a few grass tufts, three clouds. Ask where the donkey is going.
