Owl Riding a Broom Coloring Page

About this page

Perched on a broom handle, a round-eyed owl waves one wing and looks toward the viewer with an open beak. Feather scallops cover its chest, ear tufts stand up on its head and its other wing folds along the side. The broom runs from the lower left to the right, with a bushy head of bristles on the left and two wrapped bands near the middle where the owl's feet grip the handle. Overhead, a crescent moon hangs in the center and two small smiling bats fly in the upper left and right. No ground or scenery is drawn, so the night scene is open. The feather scallops and bristle lines add a good bit of detail for kids who like to color carefully.
