Smiling Bat Coloring Page

About this page

A baby bat hovers with its wings stretched wide to both sides and its tiny feet dangling underneath. Its large ears have an inner curve, and its round face has big shiny eyes, a small nose and an open smile with two little fangs. A tuft of fur sits on top of its head and a fluffy patch of fur marks the chest. Each wing is held out by a thin arm and divided into panels by ribs, with a scalloped lower edge. The bat is the only thing on the page and sits in the middle, with open white all around. The wing panels and ears are simple shapes, which makes it an easy page for kids who enjoy cute Halloween animals.
