About these monkey coloring pages

Capuchins, spider monkeys, snow monkeys and a mandrill share these monkey coloring pages with a couple of cute kawaii monkeys. The easy level, for ages 3 to 5, keeps to one monkey in simple shapes, like a kawaii monkey holding a banana. Ages 6 to 8 bring jungle vines and a nut-cracking capuchin into the picture, and ages 9 and up get a snowy forest and a busy rainforest canopy.

The doodle monkey and a detailed mandrill portrait are made for teens and adults. For a classroom tie-in, use the capuchin page to start a conversation about animals that use tools, then ask students to name other clever animals they know. The easy pages also work well as a calm activity for younger siblings.

Also in winter coloring pages, cute coloring pages and kawaii coloring pages.

Monkey facts to share

  1. Some monkeys from Central and South America, like spider monkeys, can grip branches with their tails.
  2. Monkeys groom each other's fur to keep clean and to strengthen friendships in their group.
  3. Howler monkeys are among the loudest land animals, and their calls can carry for miles through the forest.

Color idea: Mix warm browns, tans and creams for most monkeys, try golden orange for the squirrel monkey, and save your boldest red and blue for the mandrill's face.

Monkey coloring page questions

Are apes like gorillas and chimpanzees included?

No. This collection shows true monkeys, including capuchins, spider monkeys, howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, snow monkeys and a mandrill. Apes such as gorillas belong to a separate group and have no tails; a gorilla family appears on the zoo animal pages instead.

Which monkey pages suit young children?

The easy pages suit ages 3 to 5: a kawaii monkey holding a banana and a monkey hanging upside down by its tail. Kids ages 6 to 8 can move on to the kawaii monkey swinging on a vine or the capuchin cracking nuts.

Do monkeys really use tools?

Some do. Bearded capuchin monkeys in Brazil set hard palm nuts on a flat rock and crack them open with a heavy stone, a skill young capuchins learn by watching adults. The medium capuchin page shows this clever behavior.
