Easy Squirrels with Acorns and Pine Cones 8 pages
Fluffy tails curl up behind squirrels holding an acorn, hugging a pine cone or balancing a walnut on their heads. One peeks out of a stump and another sleeps curled up under the moon. Reddish brown or gray matches real squirrels, and the big shapes leave plenty of room for little hands.

Gathering Nuts, Seeds and Snacks 7 pages
Busy paws dig holes for acorns, drop hazelnuts into a basket and carry a strawberry bigger than a squirrel's head. Corn, sunflower seeds and a pumpkin with gourds turn up too, which ties these pages to an autumn harvest lesson. The winter pantry, packed with jars and sacks, has the most to color.

Leaping, Climbing and Flying Squirrels 7 pages
Squirrels are acrobats, and these pages show it: a leap over a picket fence, a tightrope walk, a climb up an oak and a twig carried to a leafy nest. Three flying squirrels show the flap of skin they use to glide, a handy detail to point out during a lesson on forest animals.

Squirrels in the Backyard Garden 6 pages
Birds keep these squirrels company at a birdbath, on a mossy rock and at a wooden feeder, where one hangs upside down to grab seeds. Others water a seedling and sniff tulips. Spring greens and soft pinks for the flowers suit these pages, and the fence scene with a shed is the busiest.

Striped scarves come out for winter. One squirrel holds a pine cone on a snowy log, one rides a sled downhill, two build a snowman with acorn buttons and two hang acorn ornaments on a Christmas tree. Light blue shadows on white snow make the scarves stand out.

Picnics, Treehouses and Squirrel Adventures 9 pages
Full scenes with backgrounds give kids a longer project. A squirrel reads on a log, naps in a hammock, hikes past a blank signpost and rows a walnut-shell boat. Kids can write their own place name on the signpost. The treehouse and the nut stand with a bunny customer have the most detail.

The pattern page repeats squirrel faces, acorns and hazelnuts, and the two round mandalas ring a squirrel and a flying squirrel with leaves, stars and moons.

Questions
- Which paper size should I print on?
- US Letter if you are in the US or Canada, A4 almost everywhere else. Each size has its own file, so neither one is a stretched copy of the other.

- Yes. Printing for your class, family or group is free. Please do not sell the pages or upload the files to another site.
- Which squirrel coloring pages are easiest for toddlers?
- Start with Squirrel with an Acorn, Squirrel Hugging a Pine Cone, Nibbling a Hazelnut and Flying Squirrel: one big animal and thick lines. Acorn Mail Delivery, Squirrel Treehouse, Running Along the Fence and the two mandalas have more small parts for older kids.
