Koala Perched on a Thin Branch Gripping a Trunk

A koala sits on a thin branch and holds onto a tall tree trunk with one raised paw, its claws spread against the bark. The koala faces forward with a large oval nose, two small eyes, a little smiling mouth, and big round ears with fuzzy fur strokes along the edges. Its other arm rests across its belly, and its feet with sharp claws curl over the branch at the bottom. Long curved lines on the right side show the texture of the bark. The shapes are large and the lines are bold, so this free printable works well for younger kids using crayons. Try gray and soft brown for the fur, then leave the ears and chest lighter so the fuzzy strokes stand out. Older kids can use two or three shades of brown on the bark lines to make the trunk look rough.
