Squirrel in Profile Holding a Leaf, Zentangle Style

A squirrel sits upright in profile, facing left, with its front paws pressed together near its chest. It holds a small leaf in its mouth, and one dark, shiny eye stands out against the rest of the line work. Its big curved tail loops around the bottom of the page. The whole body is filled with tiny swirls, paisley shapes, layered petals, and wavy bands. The tail has a large round flower with a spoked center, plus smaller blossoms and leaf shapes near the bottom. Fine pens, gel pens, or sharp colored pencils work well here. Try warm fall shades like rust, gold, and brown on the body, then pick a different color for each flower on the tail. It suits older kids, teens, and adults who like a slow, quiet project. The printable page also makes a nice autumn craft table activity.
