A safari set for growing artists
This set brings together safari favourites such as lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys and other wild animals. Younger children can work with large outlines, open spaces and simple backgrounds. Older children can add careful colour choices, patterns, grass, trees and sky details. The pictures give children room to practise staying inside the lines while making each scene their own. Some pages focus on one animal, while others place animals in a savannah setting. For more single-animal colouring, try the elephant coloring pages or lion coloring pages.
Ideas for home and classroom use
At home, let your child choose an animal and talk about its body, food and home before colouring. You can keep the finished pages together as a simple safari book, adding one sentence under each picture. In class, use the pages after a story or nature lesson. Children can sort their coloured pictures by animal size, count legs, compare patterns or label simple body parts. Older pupils can write a few factual sentences, while younger children can name colours and animals aloud. A small group can work together on a shared wall display about wild animals and their habitats.
Simple facts to talk about
Many lions live in family groups called prides, and lion cubs stay close to the group as they grow. Elephants use their trunks to pick up food, drink water and communicate with one another. A giraffe has a very long neck that helps it reach leaves high in trees. Zebras have individual stripe patterns, much like people have different fingerprints. These facts can lead to gentle conversations about caring for animals, keeping habitats safe and observing wildlife without disturbing it. Children may enjoy adding the correct food, habitat or animal sound to their finished colouring page.
Lumi's tips
- For a younger child, name two or three colours for each animal and cover small background details with a sheet of paper.
- For an older child, ask them to add a suitable habitat and write three facts beside the completed animal.
- Keep it fun by playing an animal guessing game from the outline before your child starts colouring.
