Bat Flying Under a Crescent Moon Coloring Page

A crescent moon hangs in the top left corner of this page, drawn as nothing more than two curves meeting at sharp points. It has no face, no craters and no shading, so it is a single clean field of paper waiting for whatever yellow or silver you want to put in it.

The bat flies below and to the right of it, seen side on with both wings opened out. Each wing is divided by two straight finger lines into three triangular panels, and the lower edges are scalloped in shallow curves. The head is small, with one dot eye, a short muzzle and two little pointed ears, and two feet tuck up under the body.

Five stars are scattered around the rest of the sheet, each a small four pointed shape with a pinched waist. They are placed unevenly, which keeps the page from looking like a diagram.

Line weight is light here and the ink coverage is low, so most of this sheet is open paper. That suits it: the sky is meant to be colored, and leaving it empty gives a child a big satisfying area to sweep a dark blue across before picking out the small shapes on top.
