Opossum coloring pages

With its long tail, rounded ears, and curious little face, the opossum is one of those animals kids tend to remember. These coloring pages focus on its unusual shape and expressive look, making them interesting even for children who usually lose interest quickly. Some drawings are light and simple, while others include more detail for slower, careful coloring.

Opossums have been around for millions of years and haven’t changed much over time. They’re about the size of a house cat, with short legs, a long body, and a tail that looks almost hairless. Their fur is usually gray or brown, and their faces are often lighter in color. Even though they may look a little funny, opossums are smart, adaptable animals.

Coloring these pages encourages steady hand movement, helps kids follow unusual outlines, and gives them freedom to experiment with shading and texture. Since opossums don’t have a single “perfect” color pattern, children can make their own choices. All sheets are available as free printables, so they’re easy to save and use anytime.
