Cute raccoon holding a donut beside an apple cider basket under falling leaves.

Kawaii Raccoon with Donut and Apple Cider Basket

A smiling raccoon sits under bare branches, clutching a frosted donut beside a basket tagged “Apple Cider.”

🎨 How to color it

Color the raccoon soft gray with a charcoal mask, the donut golden tan with pink frosting, and the apple cider basket warm brown with red apples. Use chunky crayons or markers for the raccoon’s big face, tail stripes, and round donut, staying inside the bold lines when you can. Try making every falling leaf a different fall color—pumpkin orange, maple red, and sunny yellow—so the air feels full of Thanksgiving sparkle.

The story behind this coloring page

Lottie’s Donut Passing Game — Under the quiet branch roof, Lottie patted a sugar donut and whispered, “Pass it, tap it, thank it!” She had just invented a game for the harvest rest stop, but it needed three apple tokens from the cider stand before anyone could play. Read the full story →

Under the quiet branch roof, Lottie patted a sugar donut and whispered, “Pass it, tap it, thank it!” She had just invented a game for the harvest rest stop, but it needed three apple tokens from the cider stand before anyone could play.

Crunch, crunch, she stepped from her warm leaf nook. The air smelled like cinnamon peels. A gust rolled one token into a prickly burdock patch, and Lottie’s scarf caught burrs all along the edge. “Oof,” she said softly, tugging free.

At the stand, the cider mice traded her three red tokens for one small cup, then paused. The donut looked lonely in Lottie’s paws. So she changed the rules: pass the donut, sip the cider, say one glad thing out loud. By supper, joy had gone paw to paw. If you spot Lottie under the branches, can you imagine the next soft crunch, crunch?
