Squirrel Swinging on a Wooden Plank Rope Swing
Coloring guide
A cheerful squirrel sits on a wooden plank swing, gripping the thick twisted ropes in both paws and grinning with two little buck teeth. The ropes tie around a sturdy branch overhead, with a few leaves hanging at the top corners. Big sparkly eyes, tufted ears, a fluffy chest and a large bushy tail hanging below the seat complete the look. Three simple flowers and tufts of grass fill the ground at the bottom. Shapes are big and clean, so this free printable suits preschoolers and early elementary kids still building pencil control. Reddish-brown fur with a lighter cream chest and tummy looks good, plus bright petals on the flowers. Print the PDF and let kids pick their own swing colors. Add this to your Squirrel coloring page collection, alongside Puppies and Cats.
