Tan sloth with white facial areas and claws on a brown tree fork, holding one of six green leaves. — A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.

1. Tan fur
2. Brown branches
3. Green leaves

Color the sloth's head fur, body, arms and legs light tan. Leave the outlined eye areas, muzzle, nose and all long claws white.
Color the whole tree fork and thin twigs brown, preserving the bark lines.
Color all six leaves green: the large one at the mouth and five smaller branch leaves. Leave the background white.

Count six leaves. Every white claw should remain distinct from the brown branch or green leaf it grips.
