Australian Animal Patterned Colouring Pages

Australian Animal Patterned Colouring Pages – Art Inspired by Aboriginal Styles

This booklet is designed to complement a themed unit on Australian Animals or Aboriginal-inspired art. It includes a collection of Australian animal outline templates filled with patterns, allowing students to explore colour, contrast, and design while creating visually striking artwork.

Students can use paints, pencils, pastels, ink, or markers to colour the patterns. For best results, encourage the use of contrasting colours inside and outside the animal outlines to help the designs stand out.

This resource is suitable for use across the primary years and works well for individual art lessons, integrated units, or classroom displays.

This teaching resource includes 12 patterned animal templates:

• Cockatoo

• Fish

• Kangaroo

• Emu

• Turtle

• Crocodile

• Echidna

• Lizard

• Porpoise

• Koala

• Wombat

• Snake

Please note: This resource is inspired by Aboriginal art styles and is intended for educational use. It has not been created by an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person.
