Sunny Day Koala on a Tree Trunk

Coloring guide
With big fluffy ears and a wide open-mouth smile, this happy koala holds a thick trunk with one paw while its round bottom rests on a branch. Around it you'll spot long eucalyptus leaves, a few small buds, two puffy clouds and a smiling sun with short rays in the upper right corner. Shapes are large and outlines are bold, so it's a good fit for preschoolers and early elementary kids who are still building pencil control. Soft gray or brown works for the fur, with a lighter shade inside the ears and fresh greens for the leaves. A bright yellow sun and pale blue clouds would finish off the sunny scene. Print it for a quiet afternoon or a nature-themed classroom activity. Add this to your Koala coloring page collection, alongside Chameleon and Zebra.

- 3Color the inside of both ears soft pink and the koala's nose dark gray, keeping the eye whites bright.
- 4Add the cream white belly patch, then color most of the eucalyptus leaves with leaf green and a few with fresh green and light green.
