Fluffy-Bellied Koala Gripping a Tall Trunk

A koala clings to a tall tree trunk on the left side of the page, wrapping one arm around the bark while its clawed fingers grip the surface. Its body is turned toward us with a round, fluffy belly, and its head looks straight out with two small round eyes and a big, solid black nose. Two large round ears with scratchy fur lines sit on either side of the face. The other foot rests low on the trunk near the bottom. The bark has rough cracks and texture, and the background is left blank. Try soft grays and warm browns for the fur, keeping the nose black, then add a few shades of tan and brown to the bark. This free printable also works well for a quick lesson on how koalas climb. Thick outlines make it easy for younger kids to stay inside the lines.
