Baby Koala Gripping a Forked Eucalyptus Trunk
Coloring guide
This baby koala is hanging onto a forked tree trunk, with one paw holding the bark and the other stretched out in front. The big fluffy ears, round nose and shiny eyes make the face a fun one to color. Long pointed eucalyptus leaves sit in the top corners and along the bottom edges, so there's room to try a few different greens. The trunk has simple lines and just a few bark marks, which keeps things easy for little hands with chunky crayons or markers. Soft gray works for the fur, with darker charcoal on the nose and ears and two or three greens for the leaves. It's a free printable PDF and there's no sign-up.
