Squirrel Hugging a Big Acorn Among Fall Leaves

This smiling squirrel sits up straight and hugs a big acorn with both front paws. The crisscross pattern on the acorn's cap is a fun challenge for small hands. You'll see large shiny eyes, tufted pointed ears, a small round nose, whiskers and a happy open mouth with tiny teeth. The fluffy tail curls up behind in a big swoosh. Three leaves lie on the ground by its feet, a small one in the middle and larger ones on either side, so it feels like autumn without any other background. Bold outlines and roomy shapes make it a good pick for preschoolers and early elementary kids with crayons or markers. Warm reddish-brown works for the squirrel and tail, with lighter tan on the belly and golden brown on the acorn cap. Download it as a free PDF for a quick coloring break any time.
