About This Bat Face Close Up Coloring Page

What a delightful close up of a bat face to color. It feels like the bat is smiling right back at you. Bats have interesting noses and big ears that you can make playful with bright or realistic colors, and this printable really highlights those features. Use it as a stand alone page for a rainy afternoon, or pair it with a short story about night animals and echolocation to spark curiosity. In the classroom, try a coloring center where children choose different color palettes, then display the finished faces on a bulletin board titled Night Voices. At home, make it a family activity, let everyone pick a style and compare who used pattern or shading to show fur texture. For an extension, fold the page into a puppet, write a short bat biography on the back, or create a matching math game counting bat features. This free printable is simple to use, fun to share, and full of possibilities for creativity and learning.

Coloring Tips & Techniques

Try deep purple or midnight blue for the fur, and add lighter lavender or gray inside the ears to show depth. Color the nose and mouth area with soft pink, and use white or very light gray highlights on the eyes to make them pop. Add a dark cave background with black and navy, and blend in a moon glow with pale yellow to make the bat stand out.
