Cute Baby Giraffe Standing in the Grass Coloring Page

Here the calf is up on its feet. It stands in profile facing right, legs straight and slightly apart, neck held tall, with a large lashed eye and a small curved smile on a rounded muzzle. Two short horns topped with knobs sit between a pair of wide ears.

A zigzag mane runs down the back of the neck, and the body carries a scatter of rounded spots. They are drawn at a comfortable size for small hands, with plenty of white between them, and they thin out toward the legs so the lower half of the animal stays open.

Grass is drawn in clumps rather than a continuous band. Two clusters of blades sit at the hooves, one to each side, and a separate row of four tufts is scattered lower down the page, which leaves the middle of the sheet clear. That scattering is unusual and it gives the page an airy feel instead of a planted one.

With no sky, no tree and no horizon line, there is nothing competing with the animal. It is a good first giraffe for a toddler, and a good page to hand to an older sibling who wants to add a background of their own around it.
