These animal pages are for about ages 2 to 3. Each drawing is one animal made of a few huge shapes. They are simpler than the animals on the ages 3–4 shelf.

The set is a puppy, a bird, a butterfly, a cat, and a turtle. Print one. The shell and the wings are the shortest jobs.

The other ages 2–3 set is the big shape coloring pages, a ball, an apple, a fish, a cup, and a star. When a child starts filling a shape on purpose and wants smaller parts, move to the animal coloring pages for ages 3–4.

Staying inside the line is not the goal yet. If the color goes over the edge, the picture still reads as a puppy or a bird.

Every picture has a US Letter PDF and an A4 PDF. The printing guide covers the printer setting.

Questions parents ask

What age are these first animal pages for?

About ages 2 to 3. Each animal is a few huge shapes, much simpler than the animal set on the ages 3–4 shelf.

How are these different from the other animal pages?

The ages 3–4 animal pages have more parts, such as a mane, spots, or a basket nearby. These stay at one animal and a handful of big areas.

Which page should we print first?

The turtle and the butterfly are the clearest. The puppy and the cat have ears and a tail, which is still only a few pieces.

What paper size are the files?

Every picture has a US Letter PDF and an A4 PDF. Letter is the usual choice for a home printer in the United States.
