What to Use with This Coloring Page
As we mentioned, sloths live in the rainforest. They are great at moving slowly and camouflaging themselves within the trees and foliage. So, while greens and browns and beiges are typically their color of choice, you can color your sloth any way that you want. After all, this sleepy sloth is all yours!
While we encourage you to use the coloring tools that you like best, here are some of our favorites and the ones that we used to color in our own sleepy sloth coloring page.
- Fine Tip Markers – We love using fine tip markers with this little guy. It makes the colors pop and creates a one of a kind sloth!
- Colored Pencils – For a softer finish, try coloring your sleepy sloth with colored pencils! With so many colors to choose from, there’s no right or wrong!
