A joyful squirrel with huge eyes holds its paws to its chest as leaves flutter down around it. Easy — best for toddlers.
Falling leaves are the color stars here, so give each one a different autumn shade — gold, orange, rust, and warm red — around a soft gray or light brown squirrel. Keep the huge eyes dark and shiny with white highlights, a cream chest where the paws rest, and pale pink inside the ears for a joyful, wide-awake look.
Little hands can color each leaf its own color, which turns the page into a fun counting and naming game as they go. Use chunky crayons and big strokes for the tail, and do not worry about perfect edges. When finished, you can draw in a few more fluttering leaves as an addition to fill the sky.
