About This Squirrel With Acorn Coloring Page

Isn't this little squirrel adorable with its big acorn? It is so fun to color because you can use lots of warm autumn shades and imagine a busy forest scene. Squirrels gather acorns to store for later, and coloring this picture can spark a conversation about how animals prepare for changing seasons. In the classroom, try a nature center where children color the squirrel, then glue it onto a background made from torn paper leaves, or create a bulletin board titled Forest Friends with each child adding a habitat detail. At home, this makes a cozy rainy day activity, and you can pair it with a story about woodland animals to extend the learning. For a creative twist, invite kids to invent a name for the squirrel and write one sentence about its favorite acorn, or challenge small groups to color matching backgrounds and make a giant forest mural. These simple ideas make the printable Squirrel With Acorn coloring page both charming and useful for learning and play.

Coloring Tips & Techniques

Use warm browns for the squirrel fur and a lighter tan for the belly and face, and add darker brown around the eyes for contrast and a soft pink for the inner ears. Color the acorn cap a rich brown and the nut a golden brown, add short strokes to show texture, and use green shades for the leaves to make the squirrel stand out. Try gentle shading along the belly and tail with a slightly darker color to add roundness, and blend colors with small circles to keep it neat and playful.
