Safety goggles on and lab coat buttoned up, this monkey carefully adds a drop of something into a bubbling flask, steam curling up from the top. On the table nearby sit two labeled bottles marked “A” and “B,” a beaker, and a microscope — a proper little chemistry setup.
A Real Chemistry Experiment
What sets this page apart from other curious-monkey pages is how deliberate everything looks — labeled bottles, careful measuring, safety goggles in place. This isn’t just poking around outside; it’s a real, step-by-step experiment in progress.
What’s on the Lab Table
- Safety goggles and a lab coat
- A bubbling flask, with steam rising
- An eyedropper, adding something drop by drop
- Two labeled bottles, marked A and B
- A beaker and a microscope
Coloring Ideas
- The bubbling liquid in the flask is a great spot for an unusual color — bright green, blue, or purple all work well for an imaginative experiment.
- Lab coats are classically white, though your child can make it any color they like.
- The two labeled bottles can be different colors to help “A” and “B” stand apart from each other.
- Metal parts, like the microscope, look good in gray or silver, with colorful knobs or details added in.
Talking About Safety Gear
The goggles and lab coat are worth pointing out on their own — real scientists wear protective gear like this to stay safe while they work, which is a simple, genuine fact kids can connect to this picture.
Questions to Ask
- “What do you think is inside bottles A and B?”
- “Why do you think the monkey is wearing goggles?”
- “What would you want to look at under a microscope?”
Ways to Use This Page
At home, it pairs well with a simple, safe kitchen “experiment,” like mixing baking soda and vinegar to watch it fizz. In a classroom, it’s a great fit for a science unit on experiments, lab safety, or the scientific method in its simplest form.
Printing Tips
Print at 100% scale rather than “fit to page” so the smaller lab equipment stays easy to color.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is this coloring page suitable for?
Roughly ages 5 to 10 — the lab equipment and multiple small details suit slightly older kids especially well.
Is this a real experiment?
It’s left open-ended and imaginative rather than a specific real experiment, which makes it fun to invent your own explanation for.
Can this page be paired with a real experiment?
Yes — a simple, safe kitchen reaction like baking soda and vinegar makes a fun real-world match.
