Bat Coloring Pages

Meet smiling bats with wings spread wide or folded as they rest. Explore moonlit skies, gardens, a bamboo grove and village rooftops, then pick a picture to print.

Choose a difficulty

Open wings or resting bats?

Compare the wing shapes and surrounding objects before choosing a bat picture.

Choose a stopping point before printing

Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.

Digital coloring example

Lavender bat with purple wings; the moon and stars remain uncolored.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Lavender body
  • 2. Purple wings
  • 3. White moon and stars
  1. Color the bat’s body light lavender, keeping its facial lines and white eye highlights clear.
  2. Use purple inside the broad wing sections, stopping at their outlines.
  3. Leave the moon, stars and background white. Completing just the bat makes a small, finished project.

Let interest and the actual size of the spaces guide the choice. You can leave the surrounding scene uncolored.

More selection and activity ideas

Choose a page

For broad coloring spaces, choose the single bat with a crescent moon. The orchard pair adds fruit and leaves; forest, cactus and rooftop scenes offer more small shapes and repeating details.

Try it together

Compare open and folded wings in two drawings. Give the bats different colors, then add your own color choices to the leaves, flowers or buildings around them.
