About Sloth Coloring Pages
This collection has 35 free printable sloth coloring pages for kids and adults. Sloths are slow-moving rainforest mammals from Central and South America that hang from branches and move so slowly that algae can grow in their fur. They sleep up to fifteen hours a day and come down only to go to the bathroom.
Coloring ideas
Use soft brown and cream fur with darker eye markings that look like a smile, and a hint of green in the fur. Add tree branches, hibiscus flowers and a leafy canopy.
Sloth facts to share while you color
There are two kinds of sloth, two-toed and three-toed, named after the claws on their front feet. Both live in the rainforests of Central and South America and spend almost their whole lives upside down. They come down from the trees only about once a week, to go to the toilet.
Tiny green algae grow in a sloth’s fur, so it can look slightly green, which helps it hide in the leaves. Try a hint of green in your sloth’s fur. Even though they are slow on land, sloths are surprisingly good swimmers. Learn more from The Sloth Conservation Foundation.
