Colors for Gerald, Piggie, and Their Friends

You can use gray for Gerald and pink for Piggie, or choose a fresh palette to make the pair your own. A yellow trumpet, blue sky, or bright car can add a cheerful accent without making the simpler pictures hard to color. For the Christmas scene, try cool blues and white snow with a few warm colors on the birds and friends.

The animal group scenes give you room to vary the palette: color the bear brown, the mouse gray, and the birds in contrasting shades. These are suggestions rather than rules, so children can decide whether the book-reading friends match or each have their own colors.

Choose by Age and Coloring Level

Start with the size of the shapes and the amount of detail, rather than age alone. A 3-year-old will usually find broad outlines easier to manage, while a 7-year-old may enjoy adding small details and choosing colors for a whole scene. Adults can also use the more intricate pages for a slower, more focused coloring break.

Easy Elephant and Piggie Coloring Pages for Kids

The easy drawings have clear outlines and uncluttered subjects, which makes them a good starting point for preschoolers and young children. Piggie sitting on Gerald, the pair dancing, and Gerald stretching beside Piggie each leave plenty of open space for crayons. The simple outline is another handy choice when a child wants to color independently.

For a little more storytelling, pick Gerald and Piggie in the car, sick Gerald blowing his trunk into a tissue, or Piggie helping birds. These scenes are still approachable, but give children something to talk about as they color. Piggie with Brian the bat or the pair speaking with a snake can prompt an invented conversation.

Cute Elephant and Piggie Coloring Pages

The cute scenes lean into expressive poses: Piggie perched on Gerald, the two sitting side by side, or Piggie holding a trumpet. Their simple expressions make these pictures easy to personalize with bright clothes and playful background details. For a busier scene, choose the pair reading with animal friends and color each reader differently.

Meet the Book Series Behind the Drawings

Elephant and Piggie is a book series by Mo Willems, who is from the United States. Gerald the elephant and Piggie are at the center of the drawings, joined in several scenes by other animals, including a bird, a snake, and Brian the bat.

The mix of quiet activities and lively moments gives children an easy way to make up a story while they color. They might decide what Gerald and Piggie are reading, why Gerald needs a tissue, or where the friends are going in their car. The detailed Thank You Book cover and the picture of the pair reading many books give older colorists more areas to work through.
