Letter G Coloring Page with a Baby Giraffe and a Bunch of Grapes

Here a spotted baby giraffe stands beside a bunch of grapes, under a capital G and a lowercase g drawn as thick, hollow outlines. The grapes hang from a short stem with one jagged leaf and a curly tendril.

This letter G coloring page is a free printable for preschool, kindergarten and homeschool lessons, roughly ages 3 to 6. The letters and the giraffe are big, open shapes, and the 18 round grapes give a child many small circles to fill one at a time.

How this coloring page was created

To make this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "the capital letter G and the lowercase letter g side by side, drawn large as hollow outlined letters ready to color across the top half of the page, with a giraffe and a bunch of grapes below them".

The words "a bunch of grapes" gave the page a full cluster of fruit on a stem. "Hollow outlined letters" made the G and the g thick outlines with empty insides, and "side by side" lined them up at the top of the sheet. The tail of the lowercase g dips lower than the capital G, as it hangs below the line in handwriting. "Below them" put the giraffe and the grapes in the lower half.

What's in This Letter G Coloring Page

The giraffe and the grapes show the two sounds of the letter G. Giraffe starts with the soft g, the same sound as j, and grapes starts with the hard g heard at the start of "go."

A speech therapist or a kindergarten teacher can use the page for sound sorting. A child says "giraffe" and "grapes," hears that the first sounds are different, and names each sound before coloring. For hard g practice alone, the grapes are the picture to use.

The capital G has a short bar that points inward, and the lowercase g has a closed round top and a tail that curls back to the left. The giraffe has two horns with round knobs, a tuft of hair between them, two ears and a round muzzle with two nostrils. A wavy mane runs down the back of its neck. Ten rounded spots cover its neck and body, and an eleventh shows as a sliver at the edge of its chest.

Its four hooves are marked with a line across, and its thin tail ends in a pointed tuft. The bunch narrows from the top to a single grape at the bottom, for 18 grapes in all, and one grape at the top sits partly behind the leaf. The leaf has jagged edges and veins, and the tendril beside the stem curls into a tight spiral.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

The grapes can be purple or green. Coloring the grapes along the edge of the bunch a little darker than the ones in the middle makes the bunch look round. The leaf looks good in green with darker veins, and the stem in brown.

For the giraffe, a light yellow body with orange or brown spots looks like a real giraffe, and the knobs on its horns and its hooves can take a darker brown. The hollow G and g have room for a pattern, so a child can fill them with dots or stripes in the colors used below.
