Free Standing Meerkat on Watch Coloring Page

Full of personality, this fun coloring page features a meerkat in its signature upright pose, front paws put away and head tilted with curious watchfulness! With big eyes and a slender snout, you see alertness, while the long tail curves around to balance everything. The fur and claws are rendered in detail, but the lines will allow children to carefully color without being complicated. You may want to stay with warm tans and browns for the correct look for desert camouflage.

The child can add darker accents on the meerkat's tips and a little lighter on the belly to give dimension. The free printable is also a way to introduce children to African wildlife and burrow life for family socialization along with discussion on teamwork and survival. You can deepen the slender meerkat even further with some gradual depth, turning the page into a lively sentinel scene that develops observation and imagination skills in children with every stroke of earth tones to color in!
