30 Badger Coloring Pages
Badgers are powerful diggers with short legs, long front claws and a famous striped face. The European badger has black and white stripes running from its nose over its head, while the American badger has a white stripe running from its nose back. European badgers live in family groups in tunnel systems called setts, some used for generations. This set follows badgers through the woods. A badger digs a burrow, emerges from its burrow, stands on hind legs, climbs a rock pile and wanders through the forest and tall grass. Others look up, face forward and carry a stack of leaves, which fits real badgers, who gather bedding for their dens. A baby badger completes the set. Badgers are mostly gray with black legs, and their face stripes are the most important detail to get right. Kids can leave the white stripes uncolored and fill the rest in black and gray for a crisp look. The tall pages show off tunnels and ground layers.
Open outlines to a forest clearing
The chubby young badger page has only outlined stripes and a round body, the easiest pick for ages 3 to 5. Cute Badger Character stands up and waves with a fluffy chest, and Cute Badger has its black face stripes filled in so kids only color the body. Badger in Forest is the medium page, with pine trees, bushes and grass tufts around a tiny badger for kids around 5 to 8.
Dig into how badgers live
Badgers dig large underground homes called setts, with many tunnels and sleeping rooms. After coloring Badger in Forest, have kids draw a cutaway of the ground below the badger with tunnels, a leafy bedroom and a food store. Talk about why badgers come out at night and how their strong front claws help them dig so quickly. Cute Badger Character can be the tour guide, waving visitors into the tunnels.
