🎨 How to color it

Color the monkey golden brown, his belly peach, the playground bars bright red, and the overhead leaves fresh green. Use chunky crayons to fill the monkey’s big body and the wide bar frame first; little scribbles outside the lines are perfectly fine. Try making his curly tail a darker brown so it stands out like a happy spiral.

The story behind this coloring page

Pippa’s Two-Bar Cheer — Under the soft green leaves, Pippa hugged the warm post and whispered, “Two bars today.” She wanted a cheer big enough to share. Clink! Read the full story →

Under the soft green leaves, Pippa hugged the warm post and whispered, “Two bars today.” She wanted a cheer big enough to share. Clink! Her hand grabbed one bar. Clank! Her toes wiggled in the cool air.

The next bar felt far, and her arms went stretchy-stretch. She lost one leaf from her head tuft, but she did not let go. “Ta-da!” Pippa laughed. A little bird chirped back. Pippa swung home with a smile even bigger than her challenge. Can you find the curly tail that carried her cheer back?
