About Armadillo Coloring Pages
This collection has 39 free printable armadillo coloring pages for kids and adults. Armadillos are the only mammals with a shell of bony plates covering their bodies. Found mainly in the Americas, they dig for insects with strong claws, and the three-banded species can roll into a tight ball for protection.
Coloring ideas
Use warm tans, browns and grays for the armor and color each band slightly differently to show the plates. Add pink to the ears and nose, and bring in green grass or desert sand for the setting.
Tips for older kids and adults
Try colored pencils, fine-tip markers or gel pens to add layers, shading and texture. Pick a color palette first, then repeat those shades across the page for a polished, relaxing result.
