Coloring tips for this squirrel printable
- Start with the squirrel’s curled tail, since it is the largest shape and helps set the main color scheme.
- Use a lighter shade on the squirrel’s paws, feet, and face area to make the nut stand out more clearly.
- Try brown and cream, gray and white, or orange and tan to keep the squirrel easy to recognize.
- Color the squirrel’s nut a deeper hazelnut brown so it looks distinct from the body.
- If you use markers, begin with the small areas around the squirrel’s eyes and ears before filling the larger sections.
