Squirrel with an Acorn on a Fall Oak Branch

Coloring guide
Sitting upright on a leafy branch, this smiling squirrel clutches a big acorn in both paws while its fluffy tail curls up behind. The tufted ears, big shiny eyes and open happy mouth with little teeth give it loads of personality. You'll spot oak leaves in the top right and bottom corners, and more acorns hang from the branches, including a pair at the bottom left and one on the right. Clear outlines and wide shapes are good for preschoolers, and the fur texture on the tail and chest is there for older kids who like extra detail. Reddish-brown works nicely for the squirrel, tan and golden brown for the acorns, and orange mixed with green for the oak leaves. It's an easy free printable for a quiet afternoon at home or at school. Love this Fall coloring page? You might also enjoy our Halloween and Gingerbread House coloring pages.
