These 35 free forest animals coloring pages for kids bring seven forest friends together in one book: Ember the fox, Bram the bear, Wilo the wolf, Daisy the doe, Willow the bunny, Ollie the owl, and Milo the mushroom. Each friend gets five pages of their own, and every page is free to download and print, or to color right in your browser, with no sign-up needed.
This is a showcase book, not a growing-up story. Every friend appears in their big, grown-up form on every page, and the 35 scenes are all new: none of them repeats a page from the single-animal books. Read the story line under each picture to follow The Forest Friends’ Story, from Ember’s hello to Milo’s fireflies.
