Lunchtime on the savanna fills this page: a giraffe stretches its long neck high to nibble leaves from the flat top of a tall acacia tree, its tongue reaching out toward a leafy branch. The rounded patches cover its body and its long legs stay planted firmly on the ground. This scene is a natural way to show kids exactly why giraffes have such long necks, all the better to reach the tender leaves no other animal can touch. The leafy branches give detail-lovers lots to color, while the big body suits younger hands. A real giraffe's tongue is dark purple-blue and almost a foot and a half long, which helps it grab leaves around the acacia's sharp thorns. Try a surprising purple tongue and leafy greens up top. Print on US Letter or A4 and let the feast begin.

Coloring Tips

  • Purple tongue surprise — color the tongue dark purple or blue, just like a real giraffe's, for a fun and accurate twist.
  • Layer the leaves — use two or three shades of green on the acacia so the treetop looks full and leafy instead of flat.
  • Tall and steady — fill the long neck in smooth up-and-down strokes so the patches stay neat all the way to the head.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a giraffe have such a long neck?
The long neck lets it reach high leaves on trees like the acacia that shorter animals simply cannot get to, so there is less competition for food.
What color should the tongue be?
A real giraffe's tongue is a dark purple-blue and up to eighteen inches long, so coloring it purple here is both fun and true to life.
