Bold easy koala face coloring page with big ears, shiny eyes, and a long leaf by one ear.

Smiling Koala with a Leaf Tucked by Its Ear

A cheerful koala face smiles wide, with fluffy round ears, bright eyes, and one long leaf tucked across its left side.

🎨 How to color it

Color the koala soft gray, the big nose charcoal black, and the long leaf eucalyptus green. Use chunky crayons for the wide cheeks and ears; it is okay if little hands color over the thick lines. Try making the leaf a little lighter at the tip, like fresh morning eucalyptus.

Every evening, Pip tucked one smooth leaf by his ear and listened to the gum trees go hush-hush. The leaf smelled cool and minty, and Pip held it close.

Until one night, a tiny beetle clicked, “Sip?” Its wings sounded dry, tik-tik-tik. Pip gave the beetle his special leaf, and the beetle drank the dew. Because of that, the moon shone through the empty spot by Pip’s ear. Because of that, Pip heard the whole grove whisper, hush-hush, thank you. Next time you see Pip’s smile, can you find where the quiet leaf rested?
