Monkey Coloring Pages

Monkeys swinging on vines, sharing bananas, relaxing in hot springs and partying in treehouses, plus a gorilla and an orangutan, ready to color. Tap a picture to color it online, or print it for crayons.

Toddlers get simple monkeys with bold lines, school-age kids get busy jungle and beach scenes, and teens and adults get two pattern-filled monkeys.

Fun facts about monkeys

Many monkeys in Central and South America have a prehensile tail that can grip branches like an extra hand. Japanese macaques, often called snow monkeys, warm up in volcanic hot springs during snowy winters.

Gorillas and orangutans are apes, not monkeys: apes have no tails. An orangutan mother carries her baby for years and builds a fresh leafy nest in the trees to sleep in almost every night.

Coloring tips for monkeys

Most monkeys are shades of brown, tan and gray, with lighter faces, hands and feet. Orangutans are a rich orange-red, gorillas are charcoal black with a silver back on adult males, and snow monkeys have pink faces.

Jungle scenes come alive with many greens, bright parrots in red, blue and yellow, and yellow bananas. Online, fill the big leaves and tree trunks first, then switch to the brush for vines and fruit.
