Winter Owl Wearing a Chunky Knitted Scarf

Coloring guide
A big-eyed little owl sits on a snow-covered pine branch, bundled up in a chunky knitted scarf with a leafy braid pattern and fringed ends. The wings are tucked in, and the feathers on the round belly are simple scallops that small hands can fill in easily. Behind the owl, a smiling snowman in a top hat and striped scarf stands on a snowy hill beside two little pine trees. Snowflakes of different sizes and small round dots of falling snow fill the sky. Large shapes and clear outlines suit preschoolers and early elementary kids. Bright red and white stripes would look great on the scarf, with soft browns and tans on the owl so the scarf stands out. It's a free printable for a winter afternoon or a classroom activity. Fans of Owl coloring pages often like Puppies and Cats as well.
