Coloring order

Color the baby giraffe's yellow body and brown spots first, then dark brown for the horn tips and the tail tuft.
On the easel, paint the rainbow from the outside in: red, yellow, green, blue, then purple, one band at a time.
Give the three paint jars at the easel's feet different colors, then finish with the smiling sun and clouds and the white daisies.

Questions to talk about

What do you think the giraffe will paint after the rainbow?
Why do you think the sun and clouds are smiling?
If you painted a sky picture, what would be in it?

Take it further

Draw a rainbow with colored pencils, band by band, then glue a torn tissue cloud at each end to finish your picture.

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.

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.
