Coloring page Squirrel with Rattle and Drums

A cheerful squirrel sits in the center, holding a rattle with a long handle. Its big eyes, small nose, and curled tail give it a friendly appearance. On either side, there are two drums of different shapes, and in front lies a small instrument with musical notes. The scene is framed by tree trunks, twigs, and leaves, creating a clear border around the character.

In preschool, this coloring page is perfect for music-themed activities, where kids can identify instruments and name their shapes. This printable helps kids practice focus, hand-eye coordination, and coloring within larger and smaller areas. It’s also a great conversation starter about sounds, rhythm, and what a musical scene looks like. The rattle is often used to highlight simple rhythms, making it easily associated with musical fun. Using red and yellow on the rattle will nicely emphasize its stripes and round shape. Crayons work well on the leaves, while fine liners can neatly outline the notes and small lines on the drums. This material organizes the topic of instruments and gives teachers a clear starting point for a brief discussion about the illustration.

Color the squirrel and print the picture for group activities.
