Common questions about this coloring page
Bats usually have fur in various shades of brown, gray, or black. For a realistic result, you can suggest your child use dark brown for the body and lighter browns or gray for the wings. Explain that the wing membranes often appear darker.
Point to the bat's large wings, ears, and small body. Explain that bats can fly but don't have feathers like birds; instead, they have wing membranes. Name the features together to expand their vocabulary.
The bat has large, clear areas that are ideal for small hands. Encourage your child to try to stay within the lines, but don't emphasize perfection. Holding the crayon or pencil and hand movement are more important than perfectly filling the spaces.
Tell them that bats are mostly active at night and fly in the dark to catch insects. They often sleep upside down during the day. A short story about a bat hunting insects at night, using its big ears to hear, can be very engaging.
