Safari Animal Coloring Pages

Safari animals are a favorite with children, and they make a good theme for a rainy afternoon, a classroom unit on Africa or a safari party. Every animal in this collection comes at three levels, from thick lines and big shapes for ages 3 to 5 up to detailed savanna scenes for ages 9 to 12, so brothers and sisters or a mixed class can color the same animal together. Each animal also has a step-by-step drawing lesson. The herd keeps growing: big cats such as the lion, the leopard and the cheetah, heavyweights like the elephant, the hippo and the rhino, long necks on the giraffe, the ostrich and the flamingo, and a crocodile waiting by the river. Use the facts and color ideas on each page to talk about where these animals live and what they eat.
