Excavator Digging Colouring Page

A tracked excavator scoops a mound of earth at a simple worksite surrounded by safety cones, rounded rocks, a cloud, and low hills. Choose construction yellow, orange, green, or blue for the machine, dark grey for the tracks, and silver for the hydraulic cylinders. Colour the earth and rocks in several browns and greys, make the cones orange and white, and keep the distant hills gentle. Colour the tracked base and cab first, then follow the long boom and stick toward the cylinders, hoses, pivot joints, toothed bucket, and soil. Begin with the biggest spaces using gentle pressure, then add stronger colour to lights, panels, patterns, and other small details. Younger artists can use one solid shade in each shape, while older children can blend two related colours, add stripes or dots, and draw extra scenery in the open space. As you work, say the vehicle name—Excavator—and notice the wheels, windows, controls, and special parts that help it move and do its job.
