Llama Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The llama is the fluffy animal with the long neck that every child points at in a farm park, and the page keeps it simple: a smiling llama with a woolly coat standing on a patch of grass, a small cactus beside it, tufts of grass at its feet, three clouds and the sun peeking over one of them.
The body is one big woolly shape for broad strokes, the neck is a long shape to fill in the same colour or a different one, and the coat is a line of bumpy curls to trace all the way round. The cactus is one simple shape with little dots on it, and the clouds are big bumpy outlines, the easiest part of the page.
Ask what a llama's wool is used for and why the cactus has prickles. Then trace the bumpy curls around the coat together, and the page becomes the wavy-line practice a child does not notice is handwriting.
Skills Practiced
How to Use This Coloring Page
- Fill the llama first. The woolly body and the long neck in one colour, then the face and the ears, then the four feet.
- Then the cactus. One colour for the cactus, then a dot for every prickle.
- Grass, clouds and sun last. The tufts of grass, the three clouds, the sun behind them. Ask where the llama is going.
