With kids home for the summer, finding something for them to do on their own is a life and sanity saver for parents. Coloring books have long been one of the go-to activities to engage kids in something other than whining or fighting with each other and animal coloring books add a level of education to the activity as well.

Coloring isn’t just something to pass the time. There is a real element in the activity that’s good for children. The act of coloring has been found a great way to reduce stress and anxiety in both children and adults and there’s no question that we could all use a little more of that in our lives. Coloring also helps kids work on fine motor skills and build up the strength in their hands.

If you have kids who are obsessed or at least a little interested in all sorts of animals, we’ve rounded up animal coloring books that will entertain the kids and build up those skills.
