Gruffalo Statue Coloring Page

What's in the Picture

Right in the middle of the page sits a huge Gruffalo carved out of twisted oak, its massive horns sprouting pine cones like natural antlers. Below the beast, an amber river of smooth stones snakes around its feet, giving the whole scene a gentle flow. Encircling the base are oversized toadstools with spotted caps, all gathered around a hollow‑log lantern that glows with imagined fire. Hovering above, a swirling halo of autumn leaves adds a playful touch, and the whole design is drawn in crisp, repeating zentangle patterns that leave plenty of room for kids to add their own colors.

Coloring Tips

Because the line work is clean and the sections are well defined, kids can experiment with bold colors for the statue and softer shades for the river and leaves. Try using lighter greens or browns for the oak, and maybe a pop of orange for the pine‑cone horns. The toadstools are perfect for polka‑dot fun—mix red, yellow, or even purple caps. And don’t forget the halo; a mix of gold, amber, or even a splash of neon can make it really stand out. Let the patterns guide you, but feel free to color inside or outside the lines!
