Common questions about this coloring page
Squirrels are usually reddish-brown to gray, with a lighter belly. Show your child pictures of real squirrels. Encourage them to use these colors, but also allow room for imagination and their own color choices.
Emphasize the bushy tail and small ears. Explain that the tail helps the squirrel balance. The nut it might be holding is also a typical detail that encourages coloring.
Talk about how squirrels live in trees, collect nuts and seeds, and are at home in the forest. You can suggest simple elements like a tree trunk or leaves in the background to complement the environment.
The lines are deliberately thick and the areas large. Encourage your child to color slowly and with focus. Praise effort, not just a perfect outcome. Perhaps let them color the bushy tail first, as it's a large, prominent area.
