Bat Family Flying Above the Treetops Coloring Page

Five bats are scattered across the sky on this page, not four and not in a neat row. They sit at different heights and face different directions, each one small, each one drawn the same way: an oval body, two dot eyes, a curved smile, two tiny ears and a pair of open wings ruled with finger lines.

Below them stands a row of five trees with round bushy crowns. The crowns are drawn as one closed outline each with a few interior branch lines showing through, and the trunks fork into bare limbs that reach up inside them. Three much smaller saplings are dotted along the ground line between the trunks.

The ground itself is a single gentle curve running the width of the paper.

What makes this one work is the mix of scales. The bats are small and repetitive, so they go quickly and can all be the same color, while the five tree crowns are large and separate, which invites five different greens. A child who wants a longer page gets it here without any single shape being hard to manage.
