Resting Fawn With Half-Closed Eyes and Spotted Back

A young fawn lies on the ground with its legs folded under its body and its head turned to one side, looking off into the distance. The fawn has two large rounded ears, a dark nose, and a calm, half-closed eye. A small cluster of oval spots runs along its shoulder and back, which makes it easy to tell this is a baby deer. The animal rests on an uneven, puddle-like patch of ground drawn with a thinner outline. The lines are bold and the shapes are large, so it works well for younger kids using crayons or chunky markers. Try coloring the body in soft browns and leaving the spots white, then talk about why fawns have spots and how they help the babies hide. This printable page also gives older kids room to add shading on the legs and ears.
