Cute Owl Under the Moon Coloring Page (Free Printable)

On a quiet autumn night, a wide-eyed owl perches on a branch while a crescent moon glows above. The owl's feathers are drawn as little scallops across its chest, which is a wonderful spot for kids to practice filling small shapes, and the big round eyes are sure to be the first thing they color. This page suits a wide age range. Preschoolers can color the owl and moon in bold colors, and older kids can try blending browns and golds for a more realistic look, or go the opposite way and make a bright rainbow owl. Owls are a great science tie-in for October: they hunt at night, they can turn their heads very far, and they fly almost silently. Try coloring the sky around the moon with dark blue or purple crayon, pressing hard near the edges and lightly in the middle, to make the moon look like it is glowing. It makes a calm, cozy bedtime coloring page.
