Grab your crayons and colored pencils! Let’s color a Woolly Mammoth, a big, interesting animal from the Ice Age.
Look at this picture. You can see the Woolly Mammoth as it looked a very long time ago. It has a big, bent nose called a trunk. Its long, bent teeth called tusks are very noticeable. The mammoth’s ears are smaller than today’s elephants. This helped it stay warm. Its shoulders are round, and it has thick, long hair all over. This hair kept it warm in the cold.
Here are some ideas for colors you can use on different parts of the mammoth. You can use these colors, or choose your own. Let’s have fun coloring this old, interesting animal!
