About this coloring page
The page shows a squirrel sitting on a log and holding an acorn. The outlines are thick, the shapes are large and there is no busy background to fill.
Made for toddlers and preschoolers, ages 3 to 6. Big shapes mean a child can finish the page alone, in about 15 minutes.
Printing and coloring tips
A thick crayon or a washable marker covers the big shapes fast. Put a spare sheet under the page if you use markers.
Warm browns for the ground, bright reds and golds for the leaves and a pale blue sky keep the page clear and seasonal. For the fur, use short strokes in the direction the hair grows, and keep the nose and eyes for the end.
How to use it
Color it after a walk in the leaves and display it with real leaves you collected.
