Kite-Flying Squirrel on a Grassy Hill

Coloring guide
Standing upright on a grassy hill, this cheerful squirrel holds the kite string in both paws and looks up at the sky with a big open-mouthed smile. The diamond-shaped kite floats at the top right, trailing a wavy tail tied with four little bows. Three puffy clouds drift overhead, and the ground is dotted with tufts of grass and flowers. Two large daisy-style blooms sit at the bottom corners, with a smaller flower on the right. Big sparkly eyes, pointy tufted ears and a fluffy curled tail leave plenty of room for crayons or markers. Try warm orange-brown for the fur and a bright red or yellow kite with rainbow bows. Print this sheet at home for kids and coloring fans of all ages.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the sky: color the three fluffy clouds pale sky blue, leaving the squirrel's eye shine and the flower petals white.
- 2Fill the whole squirrel, including the big bushy tail, head, arms, feet and ears, with toffee brown.
- 3Color the squirrel's belly and the inside of its ears with soft cream and coral pink, leaving the small highlight near the paw white.
- 4Paint the kite: the top panel and the center flower-like spot golden yellow, the middle panel bright blue, and the right panel leaf green. Then color the bows along the tail with cherry red, golden yellow, bright blue and leaf green.
- 5Finish the grass and flowers: color the leaves and stems leaf green and the flower centers golden yellow, keeping the petals white.
- 6Optional: add a few darker strokes of toffee brown on the tail and body for a little depth, and leave a thin white line along the squirrel's fur for a soft, fluffy look.
