16 Moose Coloring Pages
Moose are the largest members of the deer family. A big bull can stand over six feet tall at the shoulder and weigh more than 1,200 pounds. Only males grow the huge, flat, shovel-shaped antlers, which can spread up to six feet wide and are shed every winter. Moose are strong swimmers and often wade into lakes to eat water plants. This collection features moose in tall, sturdy poses. A moose stands facing front with big antlers, poses in a full column, stands on a cliff pedestal, sits in a barn loft and wears a backpack with a flag. A baby moose, called a calf, and two cute moose pages suit young kids. Moose are dark brown to nearly black with lighter legs, a long face, a big droopy nose and a flap of skin under the chin called a bell. Antlers look good in tan or light brown. Green pines and blue lakes make a northern forest setting. These pages fit woodland and winter themes.
Calves and Young Moose
The sitting calf has two stubby nubs instead of antlers, a broad muzzle and a fluffy tail, the simplest outline in the group. Cute Moose Character stands in side view on long legs with a scruffy chin beard and small four pronged antlers. Both leave wide spaces for preschoolers, and darker hooves with lighter lower legs add a natural, woodsy touch to the finished picture.
Big Antlers
Cute Moose stands angled toward the viewer with an oversized laughing head and branching antlers above big curved ears. Moose with Antlers is a front facing bull from the chest up, with huge flat antlers, a shaggy chin bell and a gentle smile. Coloring the antlers soft cream against brown fur helps those impressive racks stand out clearly on the finished page.
