Angkor Wat coloring pages

Three pinecone-shaped towers rise over a wide temple with columns, windows and a big central doorway, and a stone causeway with railings leads straight toward the steps. Two palm trees stand on either side. This is Angkor Wat near Siem Reap, Cambodia, the largest religious monument in the world, built in the 12th century. Simple, thick lines make it easy for children aged about 2 to 5 to color inside the shapes. Sandy brown and orange crayons for the stone and bright green for the palms are a great start. Prints on A4 or US Letter.
