About this coloring page
A smiling bear walks forward on two legs, holding a woven basket in front of it. The basket is filled with pinecones, round berries and leaves. Lots of oak and maple leaves fly around the bear. Its round ears and big eyes give it a friendly look, and its feet step forward as if it is heading home.
Coloring ideas
Color the bear brown, tan or golden, with a lighter belly and muzzle. The pinecones can be brown and the berries red or purple. Leaves look great in reds and oranges. Older kids can add a forest path under the bear's feet.
Skills practiced
Bears eat a lot in fall before they sleep through the winter. Count the leaves around the bear and talk about animals that hibernate. The word bear rhymes with chair, pear and hair, which makes a fun rhyme game.
Printing tips
The bear is a big shape and great for crayons. Print it with the squirrel and fox pages for a woodland animals set. Colored pencils help on the small pinecones in the basket.
