Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to color the giraffe neck template. We liked the bold colors markers made. We also added some deptb by tracing just outside the black spots with brown and then coloring the rest of the neck a warm yellow. But you can make your giraffe any color – real or imaginary you like!
