Koala Wrapped Around a Diagonal Tree Trunk
Coloring guide
A happy koala hugs a thick diagonal trunk with one arm around it and the other paw gripping the side. One back foot rests on the trunk and another peeks out near the bottom. It has big round fluffy ears, wide shiny eyes, a large oval nose and a cheerful little mouth. Pointed leaves grow from the branch in three spots: top left, middle right and lower left. Lines are bold and clean with lots of open space, so preschoolers and early elementary kids can practice staying inside them. Try soft gray or blue-gray for the fur, darker charcoal on the nose, pale pink inside the ears and fresh greens for the leaves. Brown crayons suit the trunk, and a lighter brown stripe adds some shading. Looking for more? Our Chameleon and Zebra coloring pages pair nicely with this Koala page.
