Fox Cub Peeking From a Tree Hollow
Coloring guide
A smiling fox cub pokes its head out of a hollow at the base of a big tree, both front paws resting on the edge. The eyes are large and shiny, the nose is small and round, and the mouth is open and happy. Fluffy cheek fur and tall pointed ears have lots of little tufts to color. Thick roots and bark lines curve around the opening. In front, tufts of grass, flat stones and small pebbles sit on the ground, with a spotted mushroom on either side. Bold outlines and roomy shapes make this a good free printable for young kids, and the bark and fur add detail for older ones. Orange and cream on the fox, soft browns on the trunk and bright red mushroom caps would look great. Kids who like Fox coloring pages usually enjoy Cats and Birds too.
