Fox Coloring Pages

With a pointed nose, a white-tipped tail and a coat the color of fall leaves, a fox almost colors itself. These free fox coloring pages include a red fox trotting through the woods, an arctic fox curled in the snow, a fennec fox with enormous ears and a den of kits. There are sweet cartoon foxes for beginners and realistic ones for anyone practicing fur.

Fox facts and tips for fox coloring pages

The red fox lives in more places than any other wild member of the dog family, from forests and farms to city parks. Foxes are related to dogs, but they have a few cat-like habits: their pupils narrow to vertical slits, and they stalk and pounce on prey. A fox can hear a mouse moving under deep snow. A female is called a vixen, and the young are kits, cubs or pups. Red foxes usually live alone or in small family groups, not in packs. A fox's den is called an earth.

For a red fox, think of three zones. The back, head and sides are orange with a touch of red-brown. The chin, throat, chest and tail tip are white. The lower legs and the backs of the ears are black, as if the fox were wearing socks. Blend the edges where orange meets white with a light pencil so there isn't a hard line. An arctic fox in winter is nearly all white, so leave the paper bare and shade with pale blue. Eyes are amber.
