Fox Coloring Pages

Make free printable fox coloring pages from 12 pictures we drew ourselves: a fox sitting with its tail curled round, a sleeping fox curled up under the moon, a fox kit, a fox diving nose-first into snow, a big fox face, an arctic fox in winter, a fennec fox with its huge ears, a running fox, a fox in the forest, a patterned fox, a kawaii fox, and an easy fox face with big shapes for little ones. The foxes are our own drawings, with no film, cartoon, game or storybook foxes, brands or logos, so the pages suit any home or classroom. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small pictures, a forest scene, a fold-in-half card, or a fox mandala with a new pattern at the press of a button. Blank foxes to design prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain fox outlines per page, for children to draw their own markings and patterns; one fox fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Add a “Stay Wild” poster in hollow letters, type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same picture for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.

Printing tips

  • Every page keeps a 12.7 mm (half inch) margin from the paper edge, on US Letter and A4.
  • Plain paper is fine for crayons and pencils; use thicker paper or card for markers and paint.
  • Print one page first and check it before printing a whole pack or class set.
  • Choose Detailed lines only with fine pens or sharp pencils, and Simple lines with chunky crayons.
  • For a fox mask or puppet, print the easy fox face on card and cut round the outline.
