This collection has 22 free monkey coloring pages: nine swinging on vines, seven sitting in trees, four family groups, one at a zoo with a child, and one dressed-up cartoon monkey. Every page is black and white on US Letter, downloads as a free PDF, and needs no signup.
The jungle is the real subject on most of these sheets. The monkey is usually four or five simple shapes, but the foliage behind it is drawn leaf by leaf — broad banana fronds, hanging vines, palm crowns, dangling roots — and it fills three quarters of the page. That inverts the usual balance: a child colors the animal in a minute and then has a whole rainforest to work through, which is why these hold attention longer than a single-animal page.
What’s in this collection
Nine vine-swinging pages, seven in trees, four family groups, one zoo scene and one cartoon — 22 in total, in the grid below. Each has its own Download PDF and Print button, so you can take one page instead of the whole set.
Swinging on vines
Nine pages catch the monkey mid-swing: one hand on a hanging creeper with the tail curled, two swinging past each other, one dropping through a curtain of roots, one hanging by the tail alone with arms spread. The vines give long sweeping lines across the whole sheet — the fastest part of any page here to fill.
In the trees
Seven pages settle down: sitting on a branch peeling a banana, lying along a limb with the tail hanging, perched in a palm crown, reaching for fruit in an apple tree. These have the most leaf detail and take the longest.
Families and the zoo
Four pages show more than one animal — a mother carrying a baby on her back, three young ones tumbling together, a large ape holding a small one. One more page steps outside the jungle entirely: a girl standing at a zoo railing while a monkey reaches through the bars toward her. And one is pure cartoon, a monkey in a cap and jacket pulling a little cart.
How to print these
Every page is US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), pure black and white, with the drawing inside the printable margin. Plain copy paper is fine; choose “Fit to page” if your printer asks. Print at normal or best quality — the leaf veins and the vine strands sit close together and draft mode merges them into a grey mass.
FAQ
Which pages suit a young child?
The cartoon monkey with the cart, and the vine-swinging pages with the most open sky. Fewer leaves means less to work around.
Are there pages with baby monkeys?
Four family pages, including a mother carrying a baby on her back and three young ones tumbling together.
Is there a page with people in it?
One — a girl at a zoo railing with a monkey reaching through toward her.
Do I need a color printer?
No. Every page prints in black and white; the color comes from your crayons or pencils.
For more jungle scenes, the panther coloring pages use the same dense foliage, and the animals and nature collection holds the rest of the free sets in this silo.
