Cute Owl with a Backpack Coloring Page

About this page

Ready for a day of lessons, a young owl has a small pack strapped to its back, with the shoulder straps looped over each wing and a side pocket with a flap showing at the left. It stands upright on grass with wide eyes, a tiny beak, ear tufts that curl outward and a chest of scalloped feathers. Its tail feathers peek out behind the pack on the left. At the lower right, a thick closed book lies flat on the ground, showing its cover, a ribbed spine and stacked pages along the edge. Three small tufts of grass dot the ground. The pack, the book and the owl are all clear shapes, and the cover and pack are plain so kids can design them. It is a medium page that suits kids who are about to start school or enjoy school-day scenes.
