Bats Around a Full Moon Coloring Page

About this page

A big full moon sits in the middle of the page, covered with oval craters of different sizes, and bats fly around it in all four corners. Each bat has pointed ears, a joyful closed-eye smile, tiny feet and spread wings with curved ribs. Two puffy clouds sit on the left and right of the moon, at its middle height. The arrangement is symmetrical, with two bats above the moon and two below, and the moon and clouds are left plain at the edges. The crater ovals are clear closed shapes, so the moon can be colored with or without a design. This is a gentle, medium-detail night page for kids. Because the four bats mirror one another, kids can choose a color scheme once and repeat it around the moon.
