What's In This Picture

At the center of the page, three lemurs are the main stars, each showing off a fun pose on the sturdy tree branches. Below them, the island is filled with interesting plants, including tall palm trees with large fronds and smaller bushes that tuck into the landscape. The ground meets the surrounding water, where small waves ripple toward the beach, adding movement to the peaceful scene.

Looking up, a massive sun dominates the sky, casting light over everything. A fluffy cloud floats nearby, balancing the composition. Each lemur has distinct markings, like their famous striped tails and large eyes, waiting for your favorite shades. The combination of land, sea, and sky provides plenty of different areas to explore with your crayons or markers.

Coloring Tips

Lemurs often have striking grey, black, and white fur, but you can make these characters as colorful as you like. Try using a bright yellow or orange for the large sun to make the whole page feel warm. For the palm trees and bushes, different shades of green will help the island look lush and full of life. You can even use a lighter blue for the water near the shore and a deeper blue for the distant sea to show depth.

Since the lemurs have long tails, you might enjoy creating patterns or stripes with alternating colors. Using a light grey for the clouds or even leaving them white with a tiny bit of blue shading on the edges can make them look soft. This page has moderate detail, so markers work well for large areas like the sky, while colored pencils are great for the lemurs' fur and the small leaves.

Did You Know?

Did you know that lemurs are only found in the wild on the island of Madagascar? They are very social animals and love to spend time with their families. They use their long, bushy tails for balance when they are jumping through the trees, just like the ones in this picture!

Try This!

After you finish coloring, try to name each of the three lemur friends. You could even draw some extra tropical fruit like bananas or coconuts in the trees for them to snack on. Another fun idea is to write a short story about what kind of treasure might be hidden on their secret tropical island.
