Sleepy Bat Dangling From a Leafy Branch

Coloring guide
This little bat hangs upside down from a leafy branch with sleepy eyes, holding on with both tiny feet. Its long wings are wrapped around its body like a cozy blanket. The round face has big shiny eyes, a small pig-like nose and a tuft of fluffy fur at the chin, and two large pointed ears hang below. There are leaves on the branch, plus a few more leaves and three little stars floating in the space around the bat. The wing sections are big and simple, so younger kids can color them in without much trouble. Soft purple or warm brown would suit the wings, with golden yellow stars and green leaves around them. It's a free page to print for kids and coloring fans of any age. Add this to your Bat coloring page collection, alongside Wolves and Lion.
