About this worksheet
This baby monkey sits square on the page with its round belly forward, holding a half-peeled banana in both hands and biting into it with a big open smile. The peel is drawn pulled back in three separate strips, its two eyes have small white highlight dots, and its curly tail loops off to one side. Both feet point out at the front, each with its own set of textured toe pads to colour.
There is a good mix of big and small spaces here, which is what makes it worth printing. The head, ears, belly and banana body are large and rounded, so a child can practise filling them in without worrying about staying inside tight lines. The peel strips, toe pads, nostrils and the little tuft of hair on the head are smaller and more fiddly, giving slightly older hands something to slow down for. It is also a natural page to talk about while colouring: yellow banana, brown monkey, how many toes on each foot, why the peel is pulled back like that.
Overall this sits on the easier side of the sheets in this pack. The bold, simple outline and closed-in shapes suit a first-time colourer, while the smaller details on the peel and feet give a four or five year old a reason to take their time. It works well as a quick one-sitting page rather than a long project.
How to use this sheet
Start with the big banana and belly to build confidence, then leave the peel strips and toe pads for last since they need a steadier hand. If the peel gets messy, call it part of the banana's colour rather than a mistake to fix.
