About these owl coloring pages

Real and cartoon owls perch, peek and swoop through these owl coloring pages. One round, big-eyed owl on a branch or peeking from a tree hole makes up each easy page for ages 3 to 5. At ages 6 to 8, pumpkins below a fence post or a snowy field fill out the picture, and ages 9 and up get a barn owl leaving an old barn and an owl pair in an autumn oak.

Older colorists can settle in with the mandala feather owl and a detailed great horned owl portrait. The fall and Halloween pages are friendly rather than spooky, so they suit younger classes too. Owls also link easily to science lessons about nocturnal animals, so try pairing a page with a short read-aloud about creatures of the night.

Also in fall coloring pages and winter coloring pages.

Owl facts to share

  1. Owls can't move their eyes in their sockets, so they turn their heads instead, up to about 270 degrees.
  2. Soft, fringed edges on their wing feathers let many owls fly almost silently.
  3. Owls cough up pellets made of the fur and bones they can't digest.

Color idea: Layer browns, tans and creams for most owls, keep the snowy owl white with a few dark flecks, and make big round eyes glow with yellow or orange.

Owl coloring page questions

Which owl pages work for Halloween or fall?

The owl perched above pumpkins on a fence post fits Halloween with a friendly, not-scary look, and the owl pair in an autumn oak tree suits fall. Both work well for seasonal bulletin boards, classroom parties and quiet afternoons.

What kinds of owls are in the pictures?

You'll find a snowy owl gliding over a field, a barn owl with its heart-shaped face and a great horned owl with feathery ear tufts, plus friendly cartoon owls and owlets. Kids can compare their faces and feather patterns while they color.

What owl activity works well in a classroom?

Owl pellets, the bundles of fur and bones owls cough up, are a popular science activity in upper elementary grades. Coloring the barn owl page first makes a calm warm-up before students explore what an owl eats.
