Free Printable Monkey Coloring Pages

Exploring Primate Species Through Coloring

Coloring is a great way to learn about the different types of monkeys living in the wild. Our realistic wildlife pages feature specific species with unique traits. You can color a proboscis monkey with its distinctive large nose, or a spider monkey using its prehensile tail to hang from a branch in the canopy.

• Use bright golds and oranges for the golden snub-nosed monkey.
• Try deep browns and blacks for the intelligent chimpanzees grooming each other.
• Add vibrant blues and reds to the face of the majestic mandrill.

Coloring the Jungle Habitat

When coloring these primates, do not forget their environment. Many of these pages include lush rainforest foliage, ancient temples, and thick vines.

Using different shades of green for the jungle background helps the brown and grey fur of the monkeys stand out. You can also add pops of color to the tropical flowers, coconuts, and fruits scattered around the scenes. Blending colored pencils works well to create a realistic canopy environment.
