Squirrel Hugging a Big Acorn Under a Rose Crown

A smiling squirrel sits sideways with a big, fluffy tail curving up behind it. It hugs a large acorn close to its chest, with the acorn cap patterned in little crisscross lines near the stem. On its head is a crown of roses and leaves, each rose drawn with tiny layered petals. The squirrel has round shiny eyes, pointed ears, and a happy little curved mouth. The outlines are bold and smooth, so the bigger areas like the tail and body are easy for small hands, while the roses and leaves give older kids something detailed to work on. Try coloring the flower crown in a few different shades, like pinks, yellows, and soft reds, then use warm browns for the fur and acorn. This free printable also works well for a fall nature lesson about what squirrels collect and store.
