Coloring page Squirrel with Glasses in a Tree Hollow

A cheerful squirrel sits in a round tree hollow, holding an open book. It wears large glasses and has big eyes with distinct pupils. On either side, there are a few stacked books, and more volumes lie at the bottom. The entire scene is framed by the thick outline of the hollow’s interior and the wavy lines of the bark.

In school, this picture is perfect for quiet reading time when kids finish their tasks early. It enhances focus as it requires staying within the fine lines. This printable is great for kids to practice color selection on large, clear areas. The illustration can spark a conversation about why we read books and how to care for them in class. The tuft of hair on top of the head highlights the expression and makes the character look more lively. Browns and beiges work well on the tuft to emphasize the strands and differentiate them from the white background. Use well-sharpened pencils for filling in small sections.

Print the page and color the squirrel during classroom reading time.
