Activity guide for this page

Recommended age: Ages 4–7
Estimated time: 15–25 min
Difficulty: Medium
Areas to color: about 19

Coloring order

Begin with the long body, thick hind legs and the tail that rests on the ground, in a warm sandy brown.
Color the pouch and chest cream. The little joey peeking out can be a slightly deeper brown than its mother.
Finish the tall upright ears with pink inside, and the eyes and nose in a dark shade.

Questions to talk about

What is the little joey looking at from inside the pouch?
When the mother hops, how might the baby feel in there?
Have you ever been carried or cuddled? What was it like?

Take it further

Slip a small doll into an apron pocket or paper bag and walk carefully like a mother kangaroo. Add gentle little hops if there is room.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

About this image

The black-and-white line art you print and color. Closed shapes and bold outlines make it easy to fill.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
