Baby Owl on an Oak Branch on a Fall Night
Coloring guide
A wide-eyed baby owl perches on a thick oak branch with its head tilted a little, smiling, its small talons curled over the wood. The round tummy is covered in scalloped feather marks, and fluffy tufts frame the face. Oak leaves grow along the branch, and three acorns hang from it, two at lower left and one at right. In the upper right corner a crescent moon shines, and more oak leaves float through the air. Big eyes and simple outlines suit preschoolers and early elementary kids, and older ones can shade the leafy parts. Brown and soft tan fit the owl and branch, and golden yellow and orange leaves give an autumn night feel. It's a free printable and a screen-free activity for home.
