Squirrel With an Acorn on a Forest Stump
Coloring guide
Perched upright on a tree stump, this cheerful squirrel holds a big acorn in both front paws and smiles with its mouth open. It has tall tufted ears, large shiny eyes and a bushy tail curled up behind its back. A small pile of acorns and a few oak leaves sit around the base, with one leaf off to the right. The stump has bark lines and a ring-shaped top that are fun to fill in. Large shapes and clear outlines suit preschoolers and early elementary kids. Reddish-brown fur looks nice with a lighter tan on the belly and paws, and golden brown acorns will stand out against green and orange oak leaves. Save it as a free PDF whenever you want a quick coloring break. Fans of Forest coloring pages often like Beach and Umbrella as well.
