Trio of Bats Hanging in a Cave
Coloring guide
Three little bats hang upside down from a rocky ceiling with their wings wrapped around them like cozy blankets. A large bat is in the center and a smaller one sits on each side. All three have big round eyes, pointy ears with leaf-like lines inside, fluffy chest fur, and a tiny crown of hair. Pointed stalactites hang from the top of the page, so the cave setting stays simple with no extra clutter. Young colorers get lots of room in the wing folds and around the little feet gripping the rock. Soft purples or warm browns work for the wings, and a lighter shade on the faces lets the big eyes stand out. Print this free page for quiet time or a nature unit on nocturnal animals. Fans of Bat coloring pages often like Ghost and Candy as well.
