About this coloring page
Travel to the mountains of Afghanistan with this charming illustration of a happy donkey walking through a scenic village.

The bold, clean outlines make this an ideal choice for young children who are practicing staying within the lines while exploring different cultures. This activity is perfect for a social studies classroom lesson, a quiet rainy afternoon, or as part of an 'all around the world' themed project. Kids will love bringing the vibrant landscape and the friendly animal character to life with their favorite colors.
How to color this page
- Start by coloring the large mountain peaks and the smiling sun to set the bright outdoor mood of the scene.
- Use markers or colored pencils to fill in the zigzag patterns on the donkey's saddlebag for a pop of detail.
- Since the lines are medium thickness, crayons work great for the broad areas like the hills and sky.
- Try using earthy tones like terracotta and tan for the village houses and pottery to give it an authentic Afghan look.
Who is this page for?
This printable coloring page is made for the Happy Starter age group. Younger children can color the large shapes first and add the small details later — there is no wrong way to color it.
What you need
A printer, a sheet of A4 or US Letter paper and your favourite crayons, coloured pencils or markers. Thicker paper (120 gsm or more) works best with felt tip pens so the colours do not bleed through.
