These 25 free zebra coloring pages for kids follow Zane the zebra from a little foal on his first savanna morning to a big zebra celebrating with his Mama under the trees. Every page is free to download and print, or to color right in your browser, with no sign-up needed.
Meet Zane the zebra: a playful foal with a long proud face, bright eyes, and bold black stripes. Zane’s story takes place over months and years. When he is little, Mama stays nearby, even when she is outside the picture. Zane grows through this book by size and by his stripes: he starts as a small foal, then grows into a young zebra, then into Big Zane standing tall on the savanna rock. His stripes get bolder and darker as he grows, and his stripe pattern stays the same on every page, so you can always tell it is Zane. His Mama joins him on two pages, at the walk on the savanna and at the celebration on the last page.

Foal Zane (Pages 1–8): First Savanna Morning

Young Zane (Pages 9–17): Gallop, Bridges and Mama
Then Zane grows into a young zebra: practicing his speedy savanna gallop, crossing a wobbly log bridge, watching fireflies at dusk, drinking beside the cool savanna stream, walking proudly beside his Mama, playing hide-and-seek among the grasses, bathing in the warm shallow river, meeting a chatty red oxpecker, and galloping fast across the wide plain.

Zane’s colors
Zane looks the same on every page, and his colors stay the same too:
- White coat.
- Bold black stripes.
- Dark muzzle.
- Black hooves.
- Black mane, striped along his neck.
- Glossy eyes with white highlights.
- Eyes closed on the one napping page (page 4).
- Mama looks much like Zane, only larger, with long eyelashes and her own stripe pattern, like every zebra.
Zane’s stripes are the fun part to color. Keep them bold black on his white coat, following the chevron stripes on his neck and chest and the stripes sweeping down from his forehead. His mane is striped black and white along his neck. Give his muzzle a dark color and his hooves black, and he will look like the Zane from the book. Zane’s mouth is a gentle closed smile on most pages. On page 11 his mouth is a flat line, so color it as a straight line. Zane never shows teeth or a tongue.
Those are Zane’s colors in the book. Your child can follow them, or choose any colors they like. Zane grows from a little foal into a big zebra, but he is the same Zane on every page.
