Coloring ideas for Squirrel

Squirrels are usually shades of brown, red, or gray, but that doesn’t mean your squirrel can’t be pink, purple, or rainbow-striped if you want! Their bushy tails are perfect for shading with light and dark browns or a swirl of fall colors. Acorns can be colored with golden browns, and the background could include leafy trees, tree trunks, mushrooms, or even a cozy little forest house. You can add soft greens for grass or bold orange and red leaves for an autumn look.

On the back of the page, why not try writing some fun facts about the Squirrel, or its name in different languages? You could even give it a name of your own, or draw your own version using your imagination!

What is a Squirrel?

Squirrels are small, agile mammals known for their fluffy tails and quick movements. They live in forests, parks, and even backyards, where they build nests in trees and love to collect nuts like acorns. There are many kinds of squirrels, and while most are tree dwellers, some live on the ground or even glide from branch to branch. Squirrels can live up to 6 to 12 years in the wild, depending on the species. They weigh less than a kilogram, with soft, dense fur that keeps them warm. Squirrels make a variety of sounds, like chirps and chatters, especially when they’re excited or warning others. They eat seeds, fruits, nuts, mushrooms, and sometimes even insects. Squirrels play an important role in spreading seeds, which helps new trees grow in forests and woodlands.
