About these giraffe coloring pages

The world's tallest animal stretches from top to bottom of the sheet in these giraffe coloring pages. Preschoolers ages 3 to 5 can color one giraffe with big spots and a long neck, including a baby on wobbly legs. An acacia tree or a pond is added for ages 6 to 8. Older kids, 9 and up, can take on a herd at sunset and children feeding a giraffe from a platform.

Teens and adults get a page of doodle-filled spots and a detailed portrait with long eyelashes. For a measuring activity, explain that a tall adult giraffe can reach about 18 feet, then compare that with the height of the classroom ceiling before everyone starts coloring.

Giraffe facts to share

  1. Giraffes are the tallest animals on Earth.
  2. A giraffe has seven bones in its neck, the same number as a person, but each one is much longer.
  3. A giraffe's dark tongue can be about 18 to 20 inches long, perfect for grabbing leaves.

Color idea: Fill the patches with tan, orange-brown and chestnut over a cream base, and try a blue-purple tongue and a golden sunset sky behind the savanna scenes.

Giraffe coloring page questions

Does every giraffe have the same spots?

No. Each giraffe's spot pattern is unique, and different kinds of giraffes have different patches, from jagged leafy shapes to neat, web-like blocks. On the expert page, every spot becomes its own small doodle to fill.

Which giraffe pages work for preschoolers?

The easy pages suit ages 3 to 5: a tall giraffe standing side-on and a baby giraffe on wobbly legs. Both have one large animal with big, simple spots and almost no background, so little hands can color them with chunky crayons.

What colors should I use for a giraffe?

Use cream or pale yellow for the coat and orange-brown to chestnut for the patches, with darker brown for the mane and tail tuft. A giraffe's tongue is a dark blue-purple color, which kids usually love to discover.
