About this worksheet
This zebra stands square on all four legs, facing slightly to one side with a big smile, round eyes and a small button nose with two dots for nostrils. Its mane sticks straight up in a row of pointed tufts, and one large ear pokes out to the side. The stripes are the main event: broad, wavy bands run across the neck and body, then wrap around each of the four legs like stacked rings down to the hooves. A small tufted tail curls up behind.
There is nothing small or fiddly here except the eyes, nose and mane tufts, which give a child something to slow down for after the big open stripes. Because the stripes are spaced well apart, a child can pick two or three colours and alternate them without the lines running together, or colour the whole zebra in variations of one favourite colour. It is a good page for talking about the shapes as you go: which stripe is the widest, which one bends the most, how many legs are striped all the way down to the hoof.
The enclosed shapes are large and the outlines are thick and forgiving, so crayon or marker strokes that wander a little still land inside the lines. It suits a beginner who is still building control, though the mane tufts and facial features give an older toddler enough detail to stay interested. There is no background to fill in, so the whole task is the zebra itself, start to finish.
How to use this sheet
Let your child start with the biggest stripes on the body before tackling the legs and mane tufts. If a stripe gets coloured over its line, just outline it again in black marker afterwards. Ask them to count the striped legs as they finish each one.
