Sloth Climbing Down a Tree Trunk Coloring Page

A single trunk fills the full height of the sheet, top edge to bottom, drawn with long wavering lines that never quite stay parallel and read as bark without filling anything in. The sloth clings to the front of it, one arm reaching up past its ear and the other hooked across the chest, head turned out toward the reader with a broad grin on it. Its lower half tucks against the wood in two rounded masses that overlap the bark lines, which is the only real depth cue here and worth coloring a shade darker if you want the animal to lift away from the tree. Two side branches break the vertical. One comes in low from the left carrying three leaves, the other angles up at the right with a larger cluster, and a few small marks drift in the open sky beyond it. Those bark lines carve the trunk into a dozen long narrow channels, and filling them in different browns is a slow job in the best sense. Save it for an older child who wants something to settle into.
