Mother and Baby Giraffe

Love fills this tender scene: a tall mother giraffe lowers her long neck to nuzzle her small baby standing close beside her, both wearing gentle, loving faces and matching patchwork coats. A few blades of grass sit at their feet. This page is a heartwarming way to color a family together, with two sizes of giraffe to compare and the same pattern to practice on both. The big shapes welcome younger kids while the curving necks give older ones a graceful challenge. In the wild, mother giraffes are devoted, nursing and guarding their calves and gathering in small nursery groups to keep the little ones safe. You might color the mother and baby in matching tones to show they are family, or give each a coat all its own. Print this loving picture on US Letter or A4 and share the warmth.
