Moon-Gazing Fox Cub on a Hill
Coloring guide
Sitting on a grassy hill with its head tilted up, this little fox cub aims its big round eyes and small smile at a large full moon covered in crater spots. Soft jagged lines make up the fluffy cheek fur and chest tufts, and the bushy tail curls around the front with a zigzag pattern at the tip. Three pine trees stand on the hillside behind, small grass tufts sit up front, and stars of different sizes are scattered across the night sky. Large shapes and bold lines suit preschoolers and early elementary kids with crayons or chunky markers. Orange for the fox with white on the chest and tail tip, plus a pale yellow moon on a deep blue sky, gives a cozy nighttime look. It's a free printable and a nice quiet-time activity.
