Monkeys have expressive faces, long arms, little hands, and often a tail that adds a playful shape to the picture. That gives kids several different areas to color while keeping the overall design easy to understand.
Mix Light and Dark Shades
Brown, tan, cream, gray, and black can all work nicely for a monkey. Kids can use a lighter color around the face or belly and a darker shade on the arms, legs, or tail.
Or they can skip realistic colors completely. A bright orange monkey with a blue tail can be just as fun to finish.
Plenty of Personality in One Picture
Monkey coloring pages are especially enjoyable because small changes in color can make the character feel completely different. Even a simple face can look playful once the colors go in.
