Kawaii Squirrel on a Tree Stump

A big-eyed squirrel perches on a cut tree stump, smiling beside a spotted mushroom and leafy forest plants.

🎨 How to color it

Color the squirrel chestnut brown with peachy cheeks, make the tree stump honey tan, and give the spotted mushroom a bright red cap with white spots. For little hands, use chunky crayons to fill the squirrel, stump, and mushroom first; it is okay if the color hops over the thick lines. Try making the single floating leaf a silly rainbow leaf, as if it just twirled past the squirrel’s nose.

Every day, Nori sat on the stump and tapped his tiny leaf: tap-tap, wiggle-wiggle. It was his giggle leaf, soft as a bunny ear.

Until one day, whoosh! The leaf popped up and tickled Nori’s nose. “Achoo!” he squeaked. Because of that, the mushroom went boing. Because of that, the ferns shook and shook. Finally, Nori waved the leaf for everyone: tickle, giggle, wiggle! Next time you spot that little leaf, can you hear Nori’s big laugh?
