Color choices

Giraffe: begin with the large coat areas, then fill the patches, mane, hooves, and tail tuft. Try golden yellow with warm brown markings and dark accents. Use blue for the water and reflected shapes, with green and tan around the grass, trees, and rocks. Contrasting black and white stripes can distinguish the zebras behind the giraffe.

Reflection Color Match

Color the giraffe and its reflection with matching shades. Repeat the surrounding water, rock, and grass colors in the reflected scene where those details appear.

Before you print

Giraffe Drinking at a Waterhole Coloring Page has about 222 separate areas to color, a medium level of detail. Crayons work for the larger shapes, and colored pencils or fine markers help in the smaller spaces.

The PDF fills one US Letter page. On A4 paper, choose “Fit to page” so the frame stays inside the margins, and print one test copy before making a class set.
