This ape is just hanging around waiting for some color! Did you know that orangutans are very closely related to humans, sharing more than 97% of the same DNA? These large apes are even born with the ability to reason and think! How amazing! Help this orangutan come to life and swing right off of the page by coloring it in! While coloring in this amazing ape may help to spark a young learner’s curiosity, it will also help them to develop the fine motor skills needed for writing, making this worksheet ideal for preschool and kindergarteners. Bonus! Since the word orangutan is spelled out and ready to color, students can also work on letter recognition and formation. Have them sound out the letters for phonics practice!
