Owl Holding a Large Acorn Coloring Page

About this page

A chubby owl sits on the ground and hugs one large acorn against its tummy with both wings. The acorn has a cap covered in overlapping scale shapes, a little curved stem on top and a smooth pointed nut below. The owl peeks over the acorn with giant round eyes and a small beak, framed by fluffy face feathers and spiky ear tufts on both sides. Two round feet with toes stick out in front at the bottom, and little tail feathers poke out to the left and the right. No background, branch or grass is drawn, so the owl and its acorn fill the whole page. The acorn cap has a neat scale pattern to color, and the rest of the owl is made of big soft shapes. It is an easy page that suits toddlers and young kids, especially around autumn.
