Owl and Crescent Moon on a Fall Branch
Coloring guide
A wide-eyed owl perches on a thick tree branch, gripping it with both feet and staring straight out at you. The round eyes, small beak, tufted ears and scalloped chest feathers make fun shapes to color, and the folded wings have large feather sections that are easy for little hands. Maple leaves surround the branch, some hanging from the top and others at the sides and bottom. A crescent moon floats in the upper right corner for a cozy evening feel. Bold lines and generous spaces suit preschoolers, and older kids who like detail will enjoy it too. Warm browns and tans work well on the owl, with golden yellow eyes and red, orange and yellow leaves. A free printable for a quiet afternoon or a classroom activity.
