Crescent Moon and Bat Coloring Page

About this page

A big crescent moon with a happy face shares the page with a little flying bat that sits inside its curve. The moon has two shiny eyes, a wide smiling mouth and a thick rounded outline that thins to points at the top and bottom. The bat flies to the right of the moon with its ears up, its wings spread to both sides and its tiny feet showing. It has a cheerful open mouth and round eyes with highlights. Both subjects are placed together in the center of the page, with plenty of space around them. The moon and the bat's wings are big, simple shapes, which makes this a gentle, easy page for kids. The two faces smile at each other, which gives the page a warm, goodnight mood.
