Baby Squirrel with an Acorn and Spotted Mushrooms

Coloring guide
This big-eyed baby squirrel sits up on the grass with a little acorn in both paws, smiling like it's about to take a nibble. The fluffy tail curls up behind and the ears have tufted tips. Three spotted mushrooms in different sizes stand nearby, along with a few grass tufts and one large leaf with a center vein in the bottom right corner. Bold, clean lines make this free printable a good match for preschoolers and early elementary kids still building fine motor skills. Older kids can spend time on the round mushroom spots and the fur on the tail. If you want color ideas, try warm orange-browns on the squirrel and acorn, red caps with white dots on the mushrooms, and a golden-yellow leaf for a cozy fall feel.
