About This Product

You’ll be blown away by the detail in this set of DESERT habitat coloring pages! Each set was carefully chosen to try and highlight the different characteristics of each biome. Some are close-up and far away views. I think you'll appreciate the wide variety of views and perspectives we chose to include. We worked hard to make sure plants and land features were included that would actually be found in each habitat. These pair wonderfully with any kind of habitat study, animal study or they can be used as the starting point for some pretty fabulous art projects including paintings. I hope you can find a creative and helpful way to incorporate these illustrations into your lessons and lives!

Note* This set of coloring pages focuses on land features and plants. There are no animals pictured in these habitats.

How to Use This:

Print and use as you study biomes and habitats. You can also use while learning about animals that live in this kind of place. Hand out coloring pencils or markers. A lighter version has also been included so that your students can have a jumping place for an art project. Have so much fun!

What You Get:

· 12 line art DESERT coloring pages

· The same images provided as very light outlines so they can be used for more intricate art projects rather than just coloring pages.

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Use the full-opacity coloring pages for a standard coloring activity, and the lightened outline set (pages 15–26) when students will build a more detailed art project on top of the template, as the file itself distinguishes the two uses.

  • Print only the version needed for the day's activity rather than both, since each illustration appears twice at different opacities.

Skills covered

  • Fine-motor coloring practice — students color desert-habitat line art within defined outlines.

  • Mixed-media art extension — students use the lightened outline version as a foundation to add their own materials or techniques for a more intricate art project (pages 15–26).

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What is the difference between the two sets of illustrations included?

The first set is standard-opacity coloring pages, and the second set is the same illustrations with the opacity lightened so students can use them as the starting point for a more detailed art project rather than simple coloring.
