16 Llama Coloring Pages
Llamas were domesticated in the Andes of South America thousands of years ago and were used to carry goods across the mountains. A llama can carry about a quarter of its body weight. Llamas are social herd animals and communicate with humming sounds, and they sometimes act as guard animals that protect sheep and goats from coyotes. This set gives llamas a tall, quirky style. A llama sits in a barn loft, stands among reeds, wears a mega party hat, stretches its long neck into a tower, peeks up like a periscope and sits by a plant basket. A baby llama, called a cria, and two cute llama pages suit young children. Llamas come in white, brown, black, gray and spotted coats, and they have long curved ears shaped like bananas. Colorful woven blankets and tassels, a nod to Andean textiles, can be added in bright reds, pinks and turquoise. Fluffy wool looks great with curly strokes.
Smooth and woolly llamas for young colorists
Baby Llama, Cute Llama Character and Cute Llama are easy pages with long open shapes and clean outlines. The smooth coated llamas are great for crayons, while the woolly one gives kids a chance to practice small curly strokes. Cream, warm brown and soft white are natural llama colors, and a pale pink cartoon llama with a white snout makes a playful twist for kids who love bright shades.
A cozy scarf and a weaving activity
Llama with Scarf is the medium page, covered in curly wool with a fringed scarf around the neck. A red and white striped scarf on white wool looks wintry. For a craft activity, weave strips of colored paper over and under on a paper loom to make a mini blanket, then talk about how llama and alpaca wool is spun into yarn for sweaters and scarves in the Andes mountains.
