Simple Designs and Fun Characters
Younger kids can start with the simple outlines, like the Little Chef Snake Making Pancakes or The Bookworm Snake's Reading Nook. These fun scenes have thick lines and open spaces that are easy to fill with crayons or washable markers.
Older kids and adults might prefer the detailed coils and scale patterns on the realistic snake sheets. Fine-tip markers or colored pencils work best for picking out individual scales and delicate floral backgrounds.
Color Ideas for Snakes
Real snakes come in almost every pattern, but storybook snakes let you use any palette you like.
- Natural greens, browns, and tans for garden snakes
- Bright yellows, reds, and blacks for bold warning stripes
- Soft pastels for party hats, books, and kitchen props
- Shading along the body curves to make the snake look round
Real cobras can flatten their neck ribs to form a hood when they feel threatened, which makes the Cobra Snake page especially fun to shade. Every page prints free on Letter or A4 paper from its Print PDF button.
