Sweet Fox Sitting in Falling Autumn Leaves
Coloring guide
This happy little fox sits upright on a patch of grass, its big bushy tail curled around its side. Its head is tilted a bit and it has a sweet smile. The eyes are large and sparkly, the ears are pointed, and a fluffy ruff covers the chest. The tail has a zigzag tip that's fun to color. Maple and oak leaves drift through the air around the fox, and a few more leaves and little tufts of grass sit at its feet. Bold, clean outlines and roomy open spaces make this free printable easy for preschoolers and early elementary kids. For a cozy fall look, you could go with warm orange on the fox, white on the tail tip and chest, and reds, yellows and browns on the leaves.
