DoodleGrove Bat Coloring Pages
Big ears, tiny fangs and wings that are almost as wide as the page. These bats are more cute than creepy: they hang upside down from leafy branches, fly past the full moon, play with balloons and explore caves full of crystals. A few are ready for Halloween, with a witch hat, a vampire cape or a pumpkin by their side. Most pages have one big bat and a simple background, so they work well for younger kids. Every page prints on US Letter and on A4.

Questions
- Which paper size should I print on?
- US Letter if you are in the US or Canada, A4 almost everywhere else. Each size has its own file, so neither one is a stretched copy of the other.
- Can I print these for my class?
- Yes. Printing for your class, family or group is free. Please do not sell the pages or upload the files to another site.
- Are these bat pages scary?
- No. Every bat is smiling, and most pages show one friendly bat with stars, clouds or leaves. The vampire bat has a cape and tiny fangs, but it is still grinning.
