Chimpanzees are one of our closest animal relatives, sharing about 98% of their DNA with humans! This means they are very smart, can use tools, and even learn simple sign language. Watching chimpanzees is like looking into a mirror of our own playful behavior.
Chimpanzees live in large family groups called ‘communities.’ These groups can have up to 100 members, all working together to find food, care for babies, and protect each other from danger.
A chimpanzee’s favorite foods are fruits like bananas, figs, and berries. But did you know they also eat leaves, seeds, and sometimes even insects? Chimpanzees are clever and use sticks to catch tasty termites for a special snack.
Baby chimpanzees, called infants, cling tightly to their mothers for the first few years of life. Their moms teach them how to climb, find food, and stay safe in the jungle. It’s a strong, loving bond!
Chimpanzees communicate with each other using lots of sounds, like hoots, grunts, and even laughter! They also use facial expressions and gestures—just like we do when we talk and play with our friends.

Let’s learn how to say the word ‘chimpanzee’! It’s a big word, but we can break it into three parts: ‘chim,’ ‘pan,’ and ‘zee.’ The first part, ‘chim,’ sounds like ‘chim’ in ‘chimney.’ The next part, ‘pan,’ is just like the word ‘pan’ that you use to cook with. The last part, ‘zee,’ rhymes with ‘bee.’ So, when you put it all together, it sounds like ‘chim-pan-zee.’ Try saying it slowly at first, then faster: ‘chim-pan-zee.’ You can clap your hands three times, once for each part! Chimpanzee starts with the ‘ch’ sound, which is a fun sound to practice. You make it by putting your tongue close to the roof of your mouth and blowing air out, like when you say ‘cheese.’ Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a chimpanzee pronunciation pro!
Coloring pages are more than just fun—they help little hands grow strong and minds become creative! When kids color, they practice holding crayons, staying inside the lines, and making choices about colors. This builds fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and confidence. Plus, coloring encourages self-expression and relaxation, making it a wonderful activity for both learning and play.

Coloring pages can be so much more than just a quiet activity! Parents and teachers can use our Chimpanzee Coloring Pages bundle to create playful, hands-on learning experiences that help children grow in many ways. Here are some fun and educational ideas to make the most of your coloring sheets:
After coloring, invite children to make up stories about their chimpanzee characters. Ask questions like, “Where is your chimpanzee going?” or “What will happen at the jungle campfire?” This builds language skills, imagination, and sequencing. You could even create a group story by having each child add a sentence as you go around the circle.
Showcase finished chimpanzee masterpieces on a bulletin board or wall. Label each one with the artist’s name and a fun fact they learned about chimpanzees. This boosts confidence, celebrates creativity, and helps children remember new vocabulary words like ‘jungle,’ ‘vine,’ or ‘snack.’
Before coloring, help children find and color the letter ‘C’ for ‘chimpanzee’ on each page. You can also print simple words like ‘banana,’ ‘tree,’ or ‘family’ for children to trace or cut out and glue onto their picture. This reinforces letter sounds, sight words, and early reading skills.
Turn coloring time into a mini scavenger hunt! Hide small images or toy animals around the room and give clues related to the coloring pages, like “Find something that swings like a chimpanzee.” Each discovery can be matched with the coloring sheet, encouraging movement and observation.
After coloring, encourage children to act out being chimpanzees—swinging, hooting, or pretending to eat bananas. Use this time to practice the ‘ch’ sound in ‘chimpanzee’ and other jungle words. Let children try saying ‘chim-pan-zee’ in silly voices or clap out the syllables. This active play makes phonics fun and memorable.
Use the fun facts and learning prompts on each page to spark group discussions. Ask open-ended questions like, “How do chimpanzees take care of their babies?” or “What sounds do you think they make?” This encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and listening skills.
By using chimpanzee coloring pages in these creative ways, parents and teachers can support children’s development in fine motor skills, literacy, social-emotional growth, and scientific curiosity—all while having a swinging good time! Remember, the most important part is to have fun together and let every child’s imagination take the lead.
