Swing through this monkey clipart collection for 12 cheeky primates: a baby monkey hugging a banana, a monkey on a tree branch, five little monkeys bouncing on a bed, a gentle gorilla, a thoughtful chimpanzee and simple outlines to color. No picture carries a background, so a monkey can hang off the edge of a slide title or peek over a worksheet box and look like it belongs there.
These monkey clipart images save through the Download PNG button, while Copy lets the monkey land wherever your cursor blinks. The background preview lets you test a jungle green or a sunny yellow page first. Big cat fans can head to lion and tiger clipart, and coloring fans will find full sheets on our animal coloring pages.

Monkey Clipart Ideas for Class and Home
- Ages 3 to 5: Act out the five little monkeys rhyme with cut-out monkeys on a felt board. Count down as each one tumbles off the bed.
- Grades 1 and 2: Pair the monkey family with a lesson on how baby animals are cared for. Add the elephant clipart for another caring mom.
- Grades 3 to 5: Sort the pictures into monkeys and apes. The tail is the clue: monkeys have tails, gorillas and chimps do not.
- At home: Use the banana monkey on a lunch box note or a fruit chart on the fridge.
How to Turn a Monkey Outline Into a Craft
- Print the monkey face outline at about 6 inches on cardstock.
- Color it with crayons or markers. Brown and peach are classic, but a purple monkey is fun too.
- Trim around the ears and fix the face onto a paper plate with a glue stick.
- Add a craft stick at the bottom for a handle, or punch two holes and tie on yarn.
For a hanging mobile, print the swinging silhouette on black paper and hang it from a pipe cleaner vine. For more jungle friends, the zoo animals clipart page adds a giraffe and a hippo.

Where is the monkey clipart black and white?
Check the bottom group for a sitting monkey, a monkey face and a swinging monkey in solid black. Kids can color the first two, and the black one traces well onto paper.
Do you have a monkey on a tree clipart?
Yes. One doodle monkey sits on a leafy branch eating a mango, and a flat color monkey hangs by its tail from a vine. Both work well in the corner of a page.
Is the gorilla clipart a monkey?
No. Gorillas and chimpanzees are apes, and apes have no tails. That is why they sit in their own group above, and it makes a good quick science fact for kids.
Is there a five little monkeys clipart for the counting rhyme?
Yes. Five monkeys jump above a striped bed in a retro style. Print it once for a poster, or print several copies and cut the monkeys apart for a counting game.
Are the monkey clipart PNG files transparent?
Each monkey saves at 1000 by 1000 pixels with nothing behind it. Paste one over a green slide and you will see only the monkey, with no box around it.
