Elephants

Elephants raise their trunks, splash water, carry a heart-shaped bouquet and walk beside flowers or footprints. For roomy shapes, choose the sunny greeting or the elephant between two plants; for more detail, try the waterfall scene or the flowering stone arch. You can also color the broad mosaic sections one by one. Download a free image or PDF to print.

A whole calf or a framed face?

Compare the big body shapes with the smaller leaf details.

Digital coloring example

Light gray elephant between green banana plants with cream trunks and green grass.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Gray elephant
  • 2. Green leaves and grass
  • 3. Cream plant trunks
  1. Fill the elephant's head, ears, raised trunk, body, legs and tail light gray; leave toenails, eye highlights and mouth white.
  2. Color every banana leaf and grass tuft green, keeping the leaf edges visible.
  3. Color the two plant trunks pale cream and leave the rest of the background white.

The trunk curve and all visible toenails should remain clear. The plants should stay separate from the ears.
