Kangaroo Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The kangaroo is the one with the baby in its pocket, which is the first thing every child asks about, and the page draws it mid-hop: a friendly kangaroo with a long tail and big feet bounding past a small bush, a little joey peeking out of the pouch, hills and a round sun behind.
The body is one long shape for a toddler to fill, the tail is a single curve to trace with a finger, and the joey in the pouch is the small careful part for whoever wants it. The hills are two soft curves and the sun is a half circle with rays.
Ask where the kangaroo is hopping to and whether the joey is holding on tight. Then try hopping across the room with both feet together, and the page becomes the animal a child remembers from the other side of the world.

How to Use This Coloring Page
- Trace the tail first. One long curve from the body to the tip. A finger first, then a crayon.
- Fill the kangaroo in one go. The big shape, one colour, ears and feet the same so it reads as one kangaroo.
- Joey, bush and sun last. The little face in the pouch, one round bush, a half sun over the hills. Ask what a baby kangaroo is called.
