Materials Needed:

1. Reference Images: Gather pictures or reference material of African wild animals like lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, etc.
2. Paper: Get some thick, quality paper suitable for coloring.
3. Pencil and Eraser: For sketching the outlines.
4. Markers, Colored Pencils, or Crayons: For coloring.

Steps:

1. Choose Your Animals: Select the African animals you want to feature on your coloring pages. You can focus on one animal per page or create a collage with multiple animals.

2. Sketch the Outlines: Start by lightly sketching the outlines of the animals on the paper using a pencil. You can use the reference images to guide you in getting the basic shapes and features right. Keep the lines simple and clear, suitable for coloring.

3. Add Details: Once the basic outlines are drawn, add in details such as facial features, patterns, or textures unique to each animal. Remember, these details should be easy for a child to color within the lines.

4. Finalize the Outlines: Once you’re satisfied with the sketches, go over the outlines with a darker pencil or pen to make them more defined. Erase any unnecessary or overlapping lines.

5. Create Background (Optional): Consider adding a simple background like grasslands, trees, or a savanna scene to complement the animals. Keep it simple to not distract from the main focus, which is the animals.

6. Copy or Scan (Optional): If you want multiple copies of your coloring pages, you can make photocopies or scan the original drawings to print out additional copies.

7. Coloring Time: Now it’s time to have fun! Use markers, colored pencils, or crayons to color in the animals and the background if you’ve included one. Encourage creativity in choosing colors and patterns.

8. Finishing Touches: After coloring, make sure the ink or colors are dry and, if necessary, erase any remaining pencil lines. Your African wild animal coloring pages are now ready to be enjoyed!
