Little Fox Watching a Butterfly in the Meadow
Coloring guide
A young fox stands on all four paws in the grass, head tipped up with a smile, watching a butterfly flutter just over its nose. It has big pointed ears, a fluffy chest ruff and a bushy tail with zigzag markings at the tip. Tall grass tufts and three daisy-style flowers with round centers sit around its feet, two at the lower right and one at the lower left. The butterfly has curly antennae and wings patterned with circles and ovals that are fun to fill in. Thick, clean lines keep it friendly for preschoolers and early elementary kids, and the PDF is free to print. Warm orange suits the fox, with white and cream on the chest and tail tip. Purple or pink wings will pop against the green meadow. If you enjoyed this Fox page, don't miss our Wolves and Lion coloring pages.
