The jungle is the place for bright color. Kids notice the red-eyed tree frog, the orange beak of a toucan and the blue and yellow of a macaw. Talk about the layers of the rainforest: animals on the forest floor, others high up in the branches, and birds flying above the treetops. Ask your child where each animal would live.
Jungle scenes have many overlapping leaves. Give kids three or four different greens, from lime to dark forest green, so neighboring leaves look different. Markers make the frogs and birds pop.
Fun facts to share while you color
- Rainforests get rain almost every day, which helps plants grow very tall and thick.
- A toucan's big, colorful bill is light because it is hollow inside.
- Some tree frogs in the rainforest have bright colors that warn other animals they taste bad or are poisonous.
- Sloths spend most of their lives hanging upside down in trees.
- Jaguars live in the rainforests of Central and South America.
Ways to use these jungle animal pages
- Sort the colored animals into rainforest layers on a wall: forest floor, middle branches and treetops.
- Make a jungle in a shoebox by gluing cut-out animals inside and hanging paper vines from the top.
- Ask kids to invent a new jungle animal and draw it on the back of a finished page.
- Play a sound game where kids make the noise of each animal as they finish coloring it.
Questions parents and teachers ask
What is the difference between a jungle and a rainforest?
People often use the words for the same thing. A rainforest is a forest with lots of rain, and jungle usually means the thickest, most tangled parts of it.
Which jungle animals are easiest for toddlers to color?
Monkeys, frogs and snakes have simple round or long shapes. Toucans are a good next step because the big beak is easy to fill with one color.
Do tigers live in the jungle?
Yes, many tigers live in the jungles and forests of Asia. Lions do not, they live on open grasslands in Africa.
