Capuchin Monkey
A neat little capuchin monkey sitting upright with a pale cap on its head and folded hands — a calm, detailed primate coloring page.
Meet the clever capuchin on this coloring page, sitting up straight with its hands neatly folded and a long tail trailing off to one side. The pale cap-like marking on top of its head and its light face give you two soft areas to color differently from the darker body, which is a fun way to practice contrast. Alert, curious eyes make this little monkey feel like it is studying you back. The shapes are clear but include enough detail to keep older children and grown-ups happily occupied. Capuchins are among the smartest monkeys in the world and are famous for using small stones as tools to crack open nuts. They live in the forests of Central and South America and travel in chatty groups. Print this page on US Letter or A4 paper and color your capuchin in cocoa browns, creamy tans, or any palette you like best.
Coloring Tips
- Cap and face pale — keep the head marking and face lighter than the body so the capuchin's two-tone look really shows.
- Follow the tail — color along the curve of the long trailing tail to keep your shading smooth and even.
- Bright eyes — add a tiny white dot in each eye to make those curious eyes sparkle.
