Night Owl on a Forest Branch With Moon and Stars
Coloring guide
A round-eyed baby owl perches on a leafy branch, feet curled over the wood, looking right at you. Big circle eyes, a tiny pointed beak and tufted ears make it hard not to love. Scalloped feather shapes cover the chest, and both wings are tucked at its sides with layered edges. A crescent moon and three small stars sit in the sky above, and large leaves and curving branches frame the page all around. The open shapes are friendly for younger kids, while the feathers give older children room for detail. Try soft browns and tans on the body, warm gold on the beak and feet, and deep blue or purple around the moon so the owl stands out. Free to print or download whenever a coloring break is needed.
