A giraffe color by number sheet in yellow and brown

Every giraffe here is yellow with brown patches. The Patch of giraffe pattern is nothing else: 85 brown squares and 59 yellow on the easy grid, so it takes 2 crayons. The easy Standing giraffe takes 5: blue for the sky, brown, yellow, black and green.

What a giraffe eats

Giraffes eat mainly the leaves of acacia trees, at heights most other plant-eaters on the ground cannot reach. The Giraffe eating leaves sheet has the head up among green leaves, and the Acacia tree is drawn with a wide flat crown on a thin trunk. Choose Detailed 24 by 24 under Size for light green leaves and a pink tongue.

Seven of the eight easy sheets leave no square white: all 144 get a color.
The easy Giraffe drinking is the one with white squares: 98 to color, 46 left empty.

How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures, drawn square by square for this site on 12 by 12 and 24 by 24 grids in October 2026. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, no picture shows a brand or a logo, and none shows a character from a film, show, book or game. The facts about giraffes (their height, their ossicones, what they eat and how they drink) were checked against Wikipedia in October 2026 (text under CC BY-SA 4.0, read for the facts and not copied); the other descriptions say only what each drawing shows. The color and square counts were counted from the finished grids. Licence: own work
