About this coloring page
A fox sleeps curled in a ball with its eyes closed and its bushy tail wrapped around its body. It is snuggled into a thick bed of large maple leaves, and acorns with little caps are tucked among the leaves. Its pointed ears stand up even while it sleeps, and its nose rests on its front paws.
Coloring ideas
Color the fox orange with a white chest and tail tip, and add black to its paws and ear tips. Leaves can be red, gold and orange. A soft brown background makes the fox glow. Use a light orange first and add darker orange along the back to make the fur look thick.
Skills practiced
Talk about how animals rest and get ready for winter. Children can count the acorns and describe the fox with words like sleepy, fluffy and cozy.
Printing tips
The leaves overlap a lot, so this page suits colored pencils. It is a calm page for a quiet afternoon. Younger kids can color the fox and use one color for all of the leaves.
