Sweet Bat Dangling From a Leafy Branch

Coloring guide
This little bat is hanging upside down from a long tree branch, holding on with both tiny hands. Its wings are tucked around its body like a folded blanket. The round sparkly eyes, small triangle nose and fluffy cheeks give it a curious, sweet face, and two big pointed ears with inner lines stick out near the bottom of the page. At the right end, the branch finishes in three large leaves with simple center veins. The wing sections are big and open, which makes them easy for small hands. You could go with soft purples or warm browns on the wings, a lighter shade for the fuzzy face, and fresh greens on the leaves. It's a free printable that suits a quiet afternoon or a lesson on nocturnal animals. Kids who like Bat coloring pages usually enjoy Ghost and Candy too.
