Bat Holding an Apple on a Fruit Branch

Coloring guide
A smiling little bat hangs upside down from a tree branch by both feet, wings folded down around its body like a cozy blanket. In its tiny hands it hugs a big round apple topped with a leaf and a short stem. The bat has large sparkly eyes, pointy ears, a small pink-nose face and fluffy fur on its chest and head. Two pears dangle from the branch on the left, and a cluster of three cherries hangs on the right, with plenty of leaves scattered around. Scalloped bushes and a few more leaves sit in the bottom corners. The wide wings are great for little hands. Soft purple or warm brown suits them, and bright red will make the apple pop. It's a free printable for fall fruit lessons or quiet coloring time. Add this to your Bat coloring page collection, alongside Ghost and Candy.

- 1Start with the apple and the cherries: fill them with cherry red, and leave the small cherry stems and the shiny highlights on the apple white.
- 2Color the two pears with lemon yellow, then use leaf green on the leaves around the pears and cherries and lime green on the two leaves at the upper left.
- 3Fill the bat's wings with soft purple and slate purple, and color the lower body and the wing edges with charcoal gray.
- 4Color the branch and the bat's head with warm brown, add light brown to the chest fur, and fill the inside of the ears with coral pink.
- 5Paint the bat's hands and paws charcoal gray, keeping the eye whites and the little teeth white.
- 6Optional: add a few darker strokes of charcoal gray along the wing edges to make the bat look more rounded.
