About This Elephant Side View Coloring Page
Coloring an Elephant Side View coloring page is a fun way to bring a gentle giant to life and spark curiosity about wildlife. Picture the big floppy ears, the long curved trunk, and the wrinkled skin, and encourage children to experiment with shades and textures as they color. In a classroom center, display the finished pages on a bulletin board to create a safari scene, or use them in a group project to compare different color choices. At home, this printable is great for rainy afternoons and quiet family art time. Try pairing it with a simple book about elephants and a matching craft, like a trunk collage. For a writing extension, invite students to write a short story about where their elephant is going, or create a science corner that labels parts of the elephant on the colored page. This free printable makes learning hands-on and creative, and it helps children notice details like ear shape and foot pads while having a joyful art experience.
Coloring Tips & Techniques
Try soft gray for the body, and a slightly darker gray to add shadows along the legs and belly to show shape. Use light pink inside the ears and a pale brown for the tusks and tail tip. Add green for the grass and a blue sky to make the elephant stand out, and use short strokes to follow the wrinkles for texture.
