Bats and Full Moon

Up in the night sky, a flock of friendly cartoon bats with tiny fangs flutters across a giant full moon, while a bare, spooky tree branch reaches in from one side and stars scatter through the dark. This page has a great mix of shapes: the round moon and curving bat wings give younger colorers big, simple areas to fill, and the twisty branch and sprinkle of stars add detail for kids who like to take their time. It is a lovely page for talking about real bats too, which use sound instead of sight to find their way and gobble up mosquitoes by the thousand. Try a glowing yellow or pale orange moon so the dark bats stand out in front of it. Print it on US Letter or A4 paper and decorate the whole night sky however you like.
