Squeaky Meets a Friend Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

From his branch outside the window, Squeaky saw it. It was the most perfect nut he had ever seen. It was shaped like an acorn, but it was covered in sparkling gold glitter! "The King of Acorns!" he chattered. He had to have it. ZIP! ZAP! ZOOM! In a flash, Squeaky darted into the house through an open door, scurried up the Christmas tree, and snatched the glittery acorn. He scampered back to his nest, his heart thumping with glee. He tucked the shiny treasure between two regular acorns. "Perfect," he chirped. Inside, a little girl named Lily started to cry. "My sparkly acorn is gone! The one Grandpa made for me!" Squeaky heard the sad sound. He peeked from his nest. He saw Lily's face, all crumpled and wet. He looked at his "King of Acorns." It didn't feel so special anymore. It felt... like it belonged to someone else. With a sigh, he picked it up. It was much harder to give it back than to take it. He scurried back to the windowsill and nudged the ornament with his nose, letting it plink softly onto the carpet. Lily gasped. "It came back!" She didn't see Squeaky, but she felt the magic. And from his branch, Squeaky felt a different kind of happiness—the warm, wiggly feeling of doing the right thing.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The anthropomorphic style gives the squirrel relatable human emotions, helping children understand the story's theme. The composition is simple, with a clear focus on the main action and characters, which is perfect for the cognitive level of 3-5 year olds.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Oh, look! Squeaky is giving the shiny acorn back. That's so kind! You can color Squeaky with a nice, warm brown for his fur and a big, bushy tail. The windowsill could be white, or maybe you'd like to make it a woody brown. The special acorn ornament needs a very special color! How about a bright, sparkly gold or yellow? You can make the Christmas tree in the back green with colorful circle ornaments.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print on standard A4 or Letter size paper. The bold lines should come out nicely even with a draft-quality setting, but 'normal' is best. Make sure the page is scaled to fit so no part of the cute squirrel gets cut off!

Recommended Tools

Colored pencils are great for this page, allowing for details like Squeaky's fluffy tail. Crayons are also an excellent choice for filling in the larger areas like the windowsill and rug. Using a gold or silver marker for the acorn would make it pop!
