About this coloring page
A fluffy squirrel sits up with its bushy tail curling high behind it, holding a large acorn against its chest with both paws. It has big shiny eyes, a small smile and tufted ears. Oak leaves surround it, and two more acorns with little caps rest on the ground. The leaves around it are big oak leaves with wavy edges, and its fur is drawn with soft, tufty lines.
Coloring ideas
Squirrels can be gray, red-brown or even black, with a cream belly. Color the acorns light brown with darker caps, and the leaves in greens, golds and oranges. A light tan on the belly and a darker gray or brown on the back gives the squirrel shape.
Skills practiced
Squirrels gather and bury acorns in fall so they have food in winter, a great way to talk about how animals get ready for the cold. Count the acorns on the page together.
Printing tips
This page has large shapes and fits crayons or markers. Print it alongside the fox and bear pages for an autumn woodland animal set. Glue a real acorn cap onto the finished page for a fun texture.
