Fall Acorns Coloring Page

About this page

A pair of acorns lean together in the middle of the page, touching at the shoulders like two buddies. Each wears a cap covered in rows of overlapping scale shapes, and each cap has a curved stem. The left acorn is a little larger and looks straight ahead with a calm smile, while the right one winks with a happy open mouth. Short curved lines near the sides of each nut suggest a shine, and each tip ends in a small point at the bottom. With no leaves or ground, every line belongs to the acorns. The scale pattern on the caps is the main detail, and the smooth nuts below stay open for any color. It is a charming easy page for kids who like fall seeds.
