Night Owl Color by Number with Crescent Moon
Coloring guide
Under a big crescent moon, a wide-eyed owl perches on a leafy branch while three little stars twinkle nearby. Numbers from 1 to 8 sit in every section of the owl, so kids can follow a color key and fill each space as they go. The round eyes, small beak and tufted ears all have numbers, and the chest and wings are layered feathers marked 6, 7 and 8. Its feet grip the branch, and leaves marked 3 sprout from both ends. Early readers working on number recognition will like it, and it makes an easy quiet activity for a classroom or a rainy afternoon. A soft yellow moon looks lovely, and warm browns and oranges on the feather rows help the owl stand out. Download and print this free page for your collection.
