Calm Spotted Fawn with Half-Closed Eye

A young spotted fawn stands in profile facing left, with its head turned slightly toward you. It has big rounded ears, a dark nose, and a calm, half-closed eye. Scattered white spots of different sizes dot its back and sides, and the short tail has a jagged fur edge where it flips up at the rear. Its long thin legs end in a row of pointed grass blades along the bottom of the page. The lines are clean and fairly thick, so crayons and markers both work well. Try coloring the fawn in warm browns and leaving the spots white, then talk with kids about why baby deer have spots that help them blend into the forest floor. This printable also suits a quick nature lesson on animal camouflage.
