Free Squirrel Holding Wrapped Present Coloring Page

A cheerful little squirrel dons a floppy Santa hat while standing tall, holding a present with its front feet, which is tied with a bow made from leaves. The excitement in its eyes shines through its thick furry eyebrows. Its tail, which is also covered in shades of brown, has a large sweep that surrounds the image naturally; it has wispy hairs that taper off at the end of the tail. A free printable with soft browns, festive red for the hat, and the freshness of green will capture the spirit of the forest.

The shading in the gaps between the tail waves and the ribbon ties on the gift will encourage you to come up with stories about how these treasures were gathered together, while the gentle strokes simulating leaf veins and pompoms will provide inspiration for your creativity. The design is inspired by the folklore of woodland creatures who hoard and then share their bounty and offers the opportunity to create a bold representation of the emotion of surprise and joy each color evokes.

With each hue supporting the idea of warmth created by a nest warmed by sunlight, the image will inspire you to strengthen your connection to the world around you by offering your loved ones the same small gifts that have fallen into your heart throughout the ages. This is the essence of a squirrel standing guard over all the little gifts of the world that serve to create memories and the joy of giving the secrets of your heart to someone else, even under the blankets of snow, as if you were nutting through time.
