Berry Picking Elf with a Basket and Squirrel Friend
Coloring guide
Standing in a berry patch, a cheerful little elf in a pointy pom-pom hat reaches up to pick a cluster of round berries from a leafy branch. The other hand holds a woven basket that is already full. The elf's outfit is a collared tunic with a belt and buckle, shorts, and tall boots with curled toes. Down by the elf's feet, a small squirrel with a big fluffy tail sits up and watches, and a few grass tufts dot the ground. Bold outlines and large shapes make this a good match for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Deep blue or purple berries stand out well against several shades of green leaves.
