Colouring PagesElephant colouring page
A elephant to print on A4 paper or to colour on the screen. Easy
How to use this page
On paper: tap "Print the blank page". Only the picture is printed, with a line for the child's name. On screen: tap a colour, then tap a part of the picture to fill it. "Undo" takes back the last fill, and white rubs a part out. Nothing is saved; the picture is fresh each time you open it.
Colour ideas
Elephants are grey. The inside of the ear and the tip of the trunk can be a little pink. The tusk is creamy white.
Real colours are only a starting point. Ask the child what colour this animal is today and why; a blue cat with green ears has a story behind it. When the animal is done, add where it lives: grass, water, a branch, a night sky.
