Upside-Down Vampire Bat on a Leafy Branch

Coloring guide
Hanging upside down from a leafy branch and gripping it with both tiny hands, this little bat grins right at you with two small fangs showing. Big round eyes, a little snout and fluffy fur around the neck keep it friendly instead of spooky. The wings spread out to each side with simple curved ribs, and two large pointed ears droop down beside the face. A few leaves sit at both ends of the branch, and they're easy for small hands to fill in. With large shapes and bold lines, it's good for preschoolers and early elementary kids still practicing staying inside the lines. Soft purple or gray for the body, deeper violet on the wings and fresh green leaves would look lovely on this free printable. A pink nose makes a sweet finishing touch.

- 2Fill the bat's wings with lavender purple, leaving the black lines between the wing sections as they are.
- 3Color the bat's body, head, and the outer ears with chocolate brown, and fill the wooden stick the bat hangs from with caramel.
- 4Add peach to the two arms reaching up to the stick, and color the inner ears and the nose rose pink.
- 5Use dusky mauve along the lower edges of the wings to add a darker finish, and keep the eye whites and the small gap between the arms white.
- 6Optional: Add a few darker strokes of chocolate brown on the body and wings for a bit of depth, then add a tiny white shine on each eye.
