About these monkey coloring pages
Monkeys are pure fun to color: they hang from vines, share fruit, splash in puddles and cause happy mischief in the treetops. This collection runs from big-shape cartoon monkeys for the youngest hands to lifelike species portraits and lush jungle scenes for older colorists who want more to fill.
The Easy set keeps things gentle — a sitting baby monkey, a smiling monkey face and a monkey holding a banana, all drawn with extra-thick outlines and roomy shapes. The detailed pages layer in leafy canopies, ornamental patterns and true-to-life fur. All free to print on US Letter or A4 as PDF or PNG.
Coloring tips and activities
- Most monkeys wear warm browns and tans — try layering a light tan base, then deepening to chocolate brown in the shadows under the arms, tail and belly for a rounded, furry look.
- Faces, ears, palms and the soles of the feet are usually a soft pinkish tone; keeping them lighter than the coat makes the features pop.
- Color fur with short strokes that follow the direction it grows — down the back, out along the arms and around the curl of the tail — so it reads soft rather than flat.
- On the jungle-scene pages, leave a few leaves and highlights unfilled white to suggest dappled sunlight coming through the canopy.
Frequently asked questions
