Sleepy Raccoon Napping in a Hollow Log
Coloring guide
Eyes closed and a tiny smile on its face, a sleepy raccoon curls up inside a hollow log with its chin resting on both front paws. The big striped tail wraps across the front of the log, and its bold rings are easy to color. Two feathery fern leaves, one at the upper left and one at the lower right, frame the scene along with three spotted mushrooms and some grass tufts across the bottom. Lines are thick and clean and the shapes are large, so it works for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Mushroom spots and tail rings are good practice for careful coloring. Soft grays and browns suit the raccoon, warm brown suits the bark, and bright red mushroom caps add a nice pop. It's a free printable that makes a calm activity for quiet time or a nap-time theme.
