About this coloring page

This happy squirrel sits beside a tree, holding a large acorn in its paws. Its fluffy curled tail, round eyes, and little smile give the drawing a playful look. Three more acorns rest on the ground among small tufts of grass, while a single cloud floats above. Large leaves hang from a branch overhead.

The bold outlines and mostly roomy shapes suit little kids ages 3–5, with a few smaller spaces in the acorn cap and leaves. Try brown or orange crayons for the squirrel, a lighter shade for its belly, and green for the leaves. The acorn cap can be colored all one shade to keep things simple. Display the finished picture on the fridge for a cheerful forest animal touch.
