Arctic Fox Curled in Snow
The rounded pose works well for a short coloring session. Shade the tail tip and the small ears first, then decide whether the surrounding snow stays white. A few blue shadows can separate the fox from the ground.

Spread wings make this page satisfying for children who like large repeating shapes. Pick one soft shadow color for the undersides of both wings. The distant trees can stay light so they do not compete with the bird.

Seal Resting on an Ice Floe
The seal and floe are separated by strong outlines, which helps beginners stay inside each area. Try cool grays for the seal and two blues for water and ice. Keep the ripples light enough that the animal still stands out.

Seal Pup by the Shore
The pup's simple face is a good place to practice careful coloring around small features. Light gray around the body can show fluffy fur without covering every white patch. The stones provide extra shapes for a child who wants more to do.
