Relaxing Bear on a Pile of Autumn Leaves
Coloring guide
Lying back on a thick pile of fallen leaves, a cuddly cub smiles happily with one paw on its round belly and its big footpads facing us. A large tree trunk fills the left side of the page behind it, and a branch reaches out overhead. A little squirrel with a fluffy curled tail sits on the branch holding an acorn. A few leaves drift down through the air, and maple and oak leaves cover the ground along with some grass tufts. Big shapes and bold outlines make this free printable easy for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Warm golden browns work for the bear, and reds, oranges and yellows for the leaves give it a cozy fall feel. This page is part of our Bear coloring pages collection — check out Shark and Giraffe too.
