Squirrel Sets Out With a Treasure Map
Meet a clever squirrel, hat perched on her head, carefully studying a treasure map by an old tree stump. With a backpack and compass ready, she traces her paw along a dotted path, dreaming of exciting finds hidden in the deep forest. Maybe the map leads to a secret stash of acorns, or perhaps something even more surprising! Where do you think this brave squirrel’s next stop could be?
FUN FACT
Some ground squirrels, like the California Ground Squirrel, will chew on rattlesnake skin and then lick their fur to make themselves smell like a snake to confuse predators.

COLORING TIPS
Try using soft browns and oranges for the squirrel’s fur. The map can be colored with tan and splashes of green or blue for rivers and trees. Add touches of gold to mark the treasure. Don’t forget to use different shades for the compass and give the stump a woody texture using gentle, circular strokes.
