16 Chipmunk Coloring Pages
Chipmunks are small members of the squirrel family, easy to recognize by the stripes running down their backs and across their faces. They carry food in stretchy cheek pouches that can hold several nuts at once, then store it in underground burrows for winter. Unlike tree squirrels, chipmunks spend most of their time on the ground. This set shows chipmunks in playful scenes. Chipmunks peek out of a hollow log, a birdhouse and a flower pot, perch on a flower tower and balance on stacks of balls, a double ball, a double pumpkin and balloons. A baby chipmunk keeps things simple for small kids. Eastern chipmunks are reddish brown with five dark stripes separated by lighter ones, plus a pale belly and striped cheeks. Kids can practice coloring the stripes neatly in alternating brown and cream. Orange pumpkins and colorful balloons add bright accents. These pages are a great fit for fall, when chipmunks are busiest gathering food for winter.
Cartoon to lifelike
Baby Chipmunk is the easiest, with big smooth shapes for ages 3 to 6. Chipmunk with Acorn and Cute Chipmunk Character stay easy but add whiskers, an acorn cap and fuzzy fur outlines for ages 4 to 7. Cute Chipmunk is the most realistic, with back stripes and tail fur that give kids around 5 to 8 a bit more to work on.
Fall foraging activity
Chipmunks gather nuts and seeds in autumn and store them in underground burrows for winter. After coloring Chipmunk with Acorn, kids can draw a burrow tunnel below it full of acorns, sunflower seeds and berries. Count how many snacks fit in the pantry. Then color Cute Chipmunk with realistic stripes and compare it with a photo of a real one.
