🎨 How to color it

Color the monkey golden brown, the small fruit bright mango orange, and the big jungle leaves a mix of emerald and lime green. Use the side of a crayon for the wide branch and large leaves, then switch to the crayon tip for the monkey’s fingers, face, and curled tail. Try making the hanging vines darker than the leaves so the hidden paths through the jungle stand out.

The story behind this coloring page

Pip’s Secret Sunfruit — High in the vine canopy, Pip sniffed the warm air for sunfruit. Read the full story →

High in the vine canopy, Pip sniffed the warm air for sunfruit. He wanted one sweet bite, but the nearest branch was bare, so he stepped away from his soft leaf-nest and followed a tiny golden smell.

A black-and-blue moth fluttered from behind a fern. “Shh,” it whispered. Pip followed it past scratchy bark and sticky vines that tugged at his tail. At last, in a quiet green pocket, one little sunfruit glowed like a lantern. Pip picked it, but inside were five shiny seeds, humming softly.

He hurried home with juice on his paws and planted the seeds around the sleeping branches. By moonrise, five sprouts curled up for everyone. Pip held the last bite and grinned. Next time you spot him in the leaves, can you keep the sunfruit secret too?
