Animals are the pictures kids ask for first, so I put the most care into this set. The young ones get big, friendly shapes with thick lines: a cat, a dog, a rabbit, a fish. Older children can move on to the trickier ones, like the tiger's stripes, the giraffe's patches or the crocodile's teeth.
The set covers the animals children actually meet in books and lessons. Farm animals like the cow, pig, goat and chicken sit next to wild ones like the lion, elephant, zebra and wolf, and there is a small sea corner with a shark, a turtle and a fish. Every outline has closed regions, so the bucket fill tool can colour it one tap at a time without leaking colour across the page.

NormalUsing these in class and at home
Teachers print these for animal units and let each child pick their own animal, then label the finished picture with its name. At home they work well as a first colouring book that never runs out: print the same cat five times and it becomes five different cats. If a child is learning animal sounds or habitats, colour the picture first and talk about the animal while the page dries on the fridge.
Tap Colour it online on any animal and pairPaint opens with it on the canvas, ready to fill. It lands at a size you can drag bigger or smaller before it settles, so a small mouse and a big elephant are both one drag away. All 31 animals are also inside the app, under the smiley Sticker tool's Coloring tab.
