Fox Folding a Paper Crane Coloring Page

About this page

Seated on a small stool at a round table, a fox bends its head toward a paper crane it is folding. The crane sits on the table's top, drawn with sharp, angular facets, a pointed beak and spread wings, and the fox pinches it between two paws. The table has a thin, flat top and three splayed legs, and the stool behind it shows only its seat and a couple of legs. The fox's face is soft and focused, with round shining eyes and a small smile, and its ears are lined with little tufts. A bushy tail with a zigzag tip rests at the left. The angles of the crane contrast nicely with the round, fluffy fox, so it is fun to color different folds in different shades. It is a calm, medium-detail page for kids who enjoy crafts.
