Little Squirrel Climbing a Tall Tree Trunk

Coloring guide
Here a happy little squirrel holds onto the side of a tall tree trunk, one front paw gripping the bark and a back foot pressed against it. It turns its head toward you with big round eyes, a small nose, an open smiling mouth and tufted ears. The big fluffy tail swings out to the left behind its body. Long, simple bark lines run down the trunk and are easy for small hands to color. A branch with a few leaves sits in the top left corner, and more leaves drift down the left side of the page. With large shapes and bold outlines, this free printable suits preschoolers and early elementary kids. For a cozy fall look, try warm reddish-brown on the squirrel and tail, softer tan on the belly and ears, and a mix of oranges, yellows and greens on the leaves. Add this to your Squirrel coloring page collection, alongside Turtle and Tiger.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start by filling the big squirrel shapes, including the head, body, and fluffy tail, with burnt orange.
- 2Color the branch and the tree-side arm area with chocolate brown, then add the raised paw and the front foot in burnt orange.
- 3Fill the leaves at the top left and along the trunk with leaf green, leaving the leaf vein lines uncolored.
- 4Use light peach for the cream belly patch and the patch on the arm near the chest.
- 5Add soft pink inside both ears and on the tongue in the open mouth.
- 6Optional: Leave the eye whites and the small cheek highlight white so the squirrel looks bright and cheerful.
