Owl with a Crescent Moon and Stars Coloring Page

About this page

Night has fallen over this scene: an owl perches on a long branch beneath a thin crescent moon and a scatter of stars. The moon hangs at the upper right, the stars float at the left and the right side of the owl's head, and the owl faces front with big dark eyes inside neat round rings, a small pointed beak and ear tufts. Broad, scalloped feather rows fill its chest and one wing folds down along its left. Its claws wrap around the branch, which crosses the lower part of the page and carries a pair of leaves on the left end and one more at the right tip. The shapes are clean and large, with no background clutter. It is an easy page for kids who like bedtime pictures and want to choose a night palette.
