Confident Jungle Animals Coloring Pages for Ages 3-5

Coloring page story

All the birds in the jungle had beautiful songs. The toucans sang, "Toca-Toca!" The hummingbirds sang, "Zing-Zing!" But Penny the parrot could only copy sounds. She felt very plain. One day, a little jaguar cub got lost. His mama called for him, "Yip-yip-yowl!" But her voice was small. The little cub couldn't hear. Penny saw the sad mama jaguar. She had an idea. She flew to the tallest tree, took a giant breath, and copied the mama's call, but SUPER LOUD! "YIP-YIP-YOWL!" (Unexpected Twist) The sound echoed through the whole jungle. The little cub heard it and came running back! Everyone cheered for Penny. She realized her special talent for copying sounds was the most helpful song of all.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

It's time to color a hero! Penny the parrot is the star today. Parrots can be so colorful, so use all your favorite bright crayons for her feather outlines—red, green, blue, and yellow! What color will you make her super loud call? You can trace the sound wave lines with a bright color. Then, give the happy jaguar family warm orange and yellow colors with black or brown spots. Don't forget the green for the leaf outlines! Stay inside the nice, thick lines.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print this page on sturdy paper to handle enthusiastic coloring. Using your printer's 'photo' or 'best' setting on plain paper will make the black outline strokes very dark and clear, providing a great guide for your child's coloring tools. A crisp print will make the happy expressions of the jungle animals even more fun to color.

Recommended Tools

Felt-tip markers are perfect for making Penny's feathers bold and bright. Colored pencils allow for more detailed work on the jaguar's spots. Crayons are a classic, safe choice for filling in the large background areas like the tree trunk and leaves. All these tools work well with the pure line art style, letting the child be the one to add all the color.
