Curious Fox and Its Pond Reflection
Coloring guide
Sitting on a grassy bank at the edge of a calm pond, a young fox tilts its head down to look at its own upside-down reflection. The big eyes, fluffy chest fur and bushy striped tail all add fun detail to color. Around the pond are water lilies on lily pads, tall cattails and reeds, smooth rocks along the shore and a leafy tree branch overhead. A dragonfly hovers in the upper right, and the distance holds pine trees, hills and soft clouds. Kids who like nature scenes will enjoy the mix of big and small areas to fill in. Orange and rust tones work for the fox, with cream on the chest and tail tip, and cool blues and greens suit the water and lily pads. It's a free printable page. Add this to your Fox coloring page collection, alongside Wolves and Lion.

- 5Fill the cattails with rust brown, the rocks with light gray, the lily pads with leaf green and the two lily flowers with coral pink.
