Koala Mom Carrying Her Baby on a Branch
Coloring guide
A smiling mother koala holds onto a thick branch with one arm and one foot, and her little baby rides on her back, peeking over her shoulder. Both have big round eyes, fluffy rounded ears and wide oval noses, so there's lots of fuzzy fur to fill in. Eucalyptus-style leaves appear in the top left corner, along the lower left and on the right side of the branch. Bold outlines and large open areas suit kids who already feel comfortable with crayons or markers. Soft gray looks nice on both koalas, with lighter gray or white on the ears and chests, warm brown for the branch and fresh green for the leaves. Save it as a free PDF for kids and coloring fans of any age. Fans of Koala coloring pages often like Chameleon and Zebra as well.
