Kangaroos

Choose a smiling kangaroo with broad coloring areas, a leaping pair in a meadow, or detailed scenes by water and rocky hills. Leaf-framed portraits have fine fur and flower lines. Pick a pose and compare the long ears, feet and tails as you color.

A pouch portrait or a leap?

Compare the body outlines and the amount of background.

Large kangaroo and joey

A small kangaroo peeks from the pouch. Broad feet, a long tail and one grass tuft keep the task compact.

Repeat colors on two kangaroos

Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.

Digital coloring example

Two sandy tan kangaroos with cream inner ears beside a green grass tuft.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Sandy bodies
  • 2. Cream inner ears
  • 3. Green grass
  1. Color both kangaroos sandy tan, including the pouch, legs, tail and small paws; leave mouth interiors and eye highlights white.
  2. Fill the inner panels of all four ears pale cream.
  3. Color the small grass tuft green and leave the background white.

The joey's paws should stay distinct from the pouch edge, and the long tail should remain one clear curve.
