Letter O Coloring Page: O is for Owl (Free Printable)

Round shapes make the owl scene especially welcoming for early letter practice. Above the drawing are oversized hollow O and o letters, and the owl below has huge round eyes, a small beak, pointed feather tufts, layered wings, scalloped belly feathers, little feet, and a branch to perch on. The O shapes are simple and roomy for broad crayon strokes, while the owl's eyes, feather rows, wings, toes, and branch offer careful detail work. This printable is a good fit for children about ages 3 to 6 as they build uppercase and lowercase letter recognition and connect O with the first sound in owl. Start by having kids trace the big circle of the O and the small circle of the o with a finger. Then say "O, o, owl" together and notice how round the letters look. As a follow up, children can count the owl's eyes and feet, or name other O words they know. The clear background also leaves space for a moon or stars.
