Moose Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The moose is the one with the biggest antlers in the forest, and the page puts them front and centre: a friendly moose standing up tall beside a single pine tree, two wide flat antlers spread above its head, a long gentle face, gentle hills rolling behind and two clouds in the sky.
The body is one tall rounded shape for broad strokes, the antlers are two big flat paddles with scalloped edges to trace, and the pine tree is a stack of zigzag layers. The hills are two soft curves across the back of the page, the easiest fill of all.
Ask how the moose carries antlers that big and whether it bumps them on the trees. Then hold two open hands up beside your head, and the page becomes the animal a child remembers from the picture books about the far north.
Skills Practiced
How to Use This Coloring Page
- Trace the antlers first. Two big flat shapes with bumpy edges. Follow the bumps with a finger, then with a crayon.
- Fill the moose in one go. The tall body and the long face, one colour, so it reads as one big animal.
- Tree, hills and clouds last. The zigzag pine, two soft hills, two clouds. Ask what the moose can see from up there.
