Kangaroo Coloring Pages
Make free printable kangaroo coloring pages from 13 pictures we drew ourselves: kangaroo standing in the grass, kangaroo hopping, mother kangaroo with a joey in her pouch, little joey in the grass, kangaroos in the grassland, kangaroo under a shady tree, kangaroo drinking at a waterhole, kangaroo on a hill at sunrise, kangaroo grazing in the wildflowers, two kangaroos hopping, joey next to its mother, kangaroo on the rocks, simple big kangaroo. Every kangaroo is drawn from one simple body plan, with two tall ears, short front arms, a big hind leg with a long flat foot and a thick tail, in three poses: standing up on its feet and tail, hopping through the air, and bending down to graze or drink with its front paws on the ground. The mother kangaroo has a joey looking out of her pouch, and the joeys on their own have big heads and ears for their size. They stand in grass, by a shady tree, a waterhole, rocks and wildflowers, or on a hill at sunrise. They are our own drawings, not any film, TV or toy character, and nothing carries words, brand names or logos. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a grassland scene with a mother and joey and a hopping kangaroo, a fold-in-half card, or a kangaroo mandala with small kangaroos round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Plain kangaroos to decorate prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 kangaroos with no eye, pouch or fur lines, so children can draw their own patterns; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same picture for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.

Runs in your browser with our own code; names and words never leave your device, and nothing is saved. Every picture is our own drawing, black lines on white, with no film, book or cartoon characters, mascots, brands or logos. The kangaroo pictures are our own drawings of one simple kangaroo in three poses (standing up on its feet and tail, hopping, and bending down to graze or drink), with two tall ears, a long hind foot and a thick tail: a kangaroo standing in the grass, a kangaroo hopping, a mother with a joey in her pouch, a little joey, kangaroos in the grassland, under a shady tree, at a waterhole, on a hill at sunrise, in the wildflowers and on the rocks, two kangaroos hopping, a joey next to its mother and a simple big kangaroo. They are not drawings of any one species. The designs are our own drawings: you may use them and anything you make with them, including things you sell, with no credit needed. The lettering fonts keep their own open licenses.
