Fox Holding a Leaf Coloring Page

About this page

A small fox stands up on its hind legs and holds a big leaf against its chest, with one paw gripping the short stem. The leaf has a clear central vein with side veins and a slightly wavy edge, and it overlaps part of the fox's body at the right. The fox smiles with round, shiny eyes, a small black nose and upturned cheeks. Its ears are tall and pointed with inner lines, and the bushy tail curves out at the left with a zigzag lighter tip. Two stubby hind legs end in small paws with toe lines at the bottom. There is no scenery. The leaf is a large, simple shape that is easy to color, and the standing pose is easy to read. It works as an easy page for kids who like autumn and forest animals.
