Big Yawn, Stripey Star

A zebra throws back his head and lets out a huge hee-haw. His mouth opens almost a circle, with big square teeth and a soft curved tongue. Wavy stripes sweep over his cheek and long neck, like ripples in sand. One ear tilts forward, the other relaxes, and his short spiky mane stands up like tiny paintbrushes.

Bold lines outline every stripe, leaving roomy spaces that invite bright crayons. His shiny eye looks lively and alert, and a dark nostril sits high on his nose. The neck fills most of the page, so little hands can practice long, smooth strokes. Add a swish of sky or a patch of grass around him to build a sunny savanna.

Fun Fact!

Zebras have excellent memories and can remember migration routes, good water sources, and even individual humans or other animals they have met before.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Use a thick black crayon for stripes and leave bright white gaps so the pattern pops.
  2. 2 Shade soft gray along the neck edges to make the zebra look round and strong.
  3. 3 Color the tongue and gums light pink, and fill the back of the mouth darker for depth.
  4. 4 Add blue sky dots or green grass strokes around the neck to frame the scene.
