Baby Koala Riding on Mom's Back

A large koala clings to a thick branch with both arms wrapped around it, while a small baby koala rides on its back and peeks over the mother's shoulder. Both have big round ears with fuzzy, jagged edges, wide dark noses, and small eyes. The mother's legs rest on the lower part of the branch, and her feet grip the bark. Leaves sprout from the branch at the left and right, and several star-shaped flowers with round centers bloom around the edges. The bark has long curved lines that are fun to shade. Try gray or soft brown for the fur, and use a darker tone on the baby so the two animals stand apart. This free printable also works well for a short lesson on how koalas carry their young. Kids can color the flowers in any bright mix they like.
