Color choices

Rainforest layers can begin with deep and light greens across the broad leaves and canopy crowns. Color the tall trunks in warm browns, then combine yellow and orange on the toucan, parrot, butterfly, and frogs. Give the monkey, sloth, snake, tapir, mushrooms, vines, and beetle varied natural tones, with bold contrast around eyes, wing patterns, and small markings.

Rainforest Layer Story

Choose an animal from the canopy, leafy middle, or forest floor. Tell a short story about what it encounters among the branches, vines, plants, and mushrooms.

Before you print

Rainforest Layers from Canopy to Floor Coloring Page has about 763 separate areas to color, so it is a detailed page. Sharpened colored pencils or fine-tip markers reach the small spaces, and it is easy to color one section at a time.

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.
