Elementary schoolColoring tips
Sloth Mother and Baby is a classic animal motif. Animal coloring pages are among the most popular of all. Coloring them helps children discover the shapes and characteristics of familiar and exotic animals while mixing colors freely. Realistic or wild with pink manes and blue spots: anything goes.
Use warm brown and gray tones for the sloth to emphasize its fluffy fur. Color the baby sloth in lighter shades to show the size difference. Make the tree more vibrant with various green tones and dark shadows on the branches. Use fine lines for their facial expressions and add delicate highlights in their eyes to give both animals a playful character. Pastels or colored pencils work especially well for creating soft textures.
