Squirrel with an Acorn on a Log, Thanksgiving Fall Coloring Page

Coloring guide
Sitting upright on a cut log, a cheerful squirrel clutches a big acorn in both front paws and smiles with a tiny tongue peeking out. Its fluffy tail curls up behind, and its ears have little tufts at the tips. An oak tree trunk rises on the right with scalloped leaf clusters and a few oak leaves overhead. More acorns lie on the ground beside the log, and small grass tufts and oak leaves fill the bottom corners. The end of the log shows round growth rings that are satisfying to fill in. A warm reddish-brown works for the squirrel and its tail, with lighter tan on the acorn caps so they stand out. Younger kids will enjoy the large open shapes, and older ones can shade the fur lines and leaf veins. Save it as a free PDF for a calm, creative break. Fans of Thanksgiving coloring pages often like New Year and Easter as well.
