About animal coloring challenges
Animal pages are fun because you can go realistic or completely imaginative. These animal coloring challenges help with both: natural fur and feather palettes, ocean blues for fish and sea life, glowing colors for night scenes, or playful rainbow animals. They fit cute and simple animal coloring books as well as more detailed animal coloring pages for adults.
Any coloring tool works: colored pencils, markers, gel pens or crayons. Easy challenges are relaxing and quick, and Hard ones are a creative stretch. Coloring on a black background? Look for the night challenges, which are made for bright colors on dark pages.
