Coloring page Squirrel with a Big Nut in Grass

A cheerful squirrel stands on its hind legs, holding a big nut in front of it. It has large, shiny eyes with eyelashes and a small nose. Long whiskers extend from the sides of its snout, and pointy ears stick up above its head. A fluffy, curled tail is visible behind, and tufts of grass grow beneath its feet.

This image is perfect for quiet time in preschool after a walk, as children settle at their tables. The squirrel theme allows for discussions about forest animals and how they use their paws. This printable makes it easy to distinguish large areas of fur from the thin lines of whiskers. It helps kids practice tracing along contours, especially around the tail and nut. The paw is important as it helps the animal grasp and hold food. When coloring the paw, choose brown and cream to gently highlight the fingers and the light center. Use crayons for larger areas and a fine liner for small lines.

Print and color the squirrel, matching the colors to the nut.
