Sloth Holding an Ice Cream Cone Coloring Page

Two things make this page worth printing. The first is the cone, drawn as a waffle of crossed diagonal lines running its whole length, which hands a young colorist a grid of small shapes to work through slowly. The second is the swirl above it, three fat turns of soft serve stacked up to a flicked little peak, every turn closed off so it can carry its own shade.

The sloth holds that cone low and off to one side, fingers wrapped around the waffle where it narrows. Its other arm lifts out and up, two long claws sweeping away from the body and a shorter one raised above them. The cone never touches the head, so it stays legible against the white paper beside the face instead of merging into it.

The head is large and ringed by a thick ragged fringe. A pale band runs from each eye out toward that fringe, a solid nose sits above a broad smile, and a short tuft stands up on top. The chest and belly stay open with no lines laid across them, two back feet rest on the paper showing their claws, and there is no background anywhere.
