Color choices

Alligator can begin with olive green across the back, softer green on the belly, and tan claws. Color the fallen log with warm browns, then use blue-green water around the lily pads and flower. Use gray and white on the wading bird, with orange on the beak. Deep greens on cypress trunks, hanging moss, reeds, and knees will contrast with pale water.

Swamp Texture Patterns

Color the alligator’s scales, tree bark, hanging moss, and bird feathers with different repeating shade patterns. Use lighter tones on the water to separate the plants and cypress knees.

Printing tips

Alligator in a Cypress Swamp Coloring Page has about 253 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.
