Squirrel with a Nut is a classic animal motif. Animal coloring pages are among the most popular of all. Coloring them helps children discover the shapes and characteristics of familiar and exotic animals while mixing colors freely. Realistic or wild with pink manes and blue spots: anything goes.
Warm brown and red tones work perfectly for the squirrel – use orange-brown for the body and a deeper brown for shadows on the belly and tail. The bushy tail looks wonderful with multiple brown shades to show movement. Color the nut in light beige or cream, with dark brown accents for depth. Small black dots for eyes and a pink nose bring the face to life. Make the paws a soft pink, and the insides of the ears too. Use fine black lines to add small claws and fur texture.
