Pack your imaginary hat and sunscreen, friends, because today we are taking your child(ren) or students on a trip to the Australian outback! It is dusty, it is golden, it is absolutely full of wonder, and it is home to one of the most beloved animals on the planet: the kangaroo.
Kangaroos are hoppers by design. Their powerful back legs work like springs, and their long, thick tails act as a fifth limb to help them balance and even push off the ground. Here is the wildest part: hopping actually uses less energy the faster they go! Nature really thought of everything.
You may also hear a group of kangaroos called a mob, a troop, or a court (we think “court” sounds very fancy for a bunch of bouncing marsupials!). Mobs stick together, groom each other, and thump their feet to warn friends about danger. Sweet, right?
Ready to get coloring? These Free Printable Kangaroo Coloring Pages are yours in three simple steps:
- Click on your favorite kangaroo coloring page(s) you like best below.
- Download the PDF file(s) to your computer.
- Print.
Once the pages are printed, try this: color the kangaroo in warm rusty reds and then add scribbly gold and tan grass along the bottom of the page. Instant outback scene! Older kids might enjoy adding a big white circle for a low-hanging moon and blending pinks and purples around it for a twilight sky.
Want to stretch the fun into a mini lesson? Have your kids count how many hops it takes to cross the yard, then compare that to a kangaroo’s 30-foot leap. Giggles guaranteed.
If your crew wants to cool off after all that desert sunshine, we have plenty of splashy friends waiting. Our Free Printable Hippo Coloring Pages star the ultimate relaxed river animal, while our Free Printable Capybara Coloring Pages feature a genuinely social water creature that holds hands while it naps (yes, really!).
Scroll on down, pick your favorites on our animal coloring pages library, and let those crayons go bouncing. And do not forget to subscribe so you catch every new free printable we add. Happy coloring, mates!
