Cute Raccoon Behind a Log Coloring Page (Free Printable)

Peeking over a hollow log, this cheerful raccoon rests its little paws on the bark and shows off a wide mask around its eyes. A striped tail curls behind the log, and small tufts of grass, stones, wood grain lines, and the round opening of the log frame the scene. The raccoon's face, tail stripes, and log are large enough for preschool and early elementary colorers, while the bark marks, eye mask, paws, nose, grass blades, and rings around the hollow end add satisfying detail. Kids ages four to eight can keep the raccoon gray and brown, or choose playful colors for the tail bands and forest floor. For an extension, ask your child to draw what might be inside the log, such as leaves or a cozy nest, and what sounds it might hear. Raccoons have very sensitive front paws that help them feel, hold, and explore objects. That fact can lead to a simple talk about how animals use different body parts to learn about their world.
