Raccoon Coloring Page
About This Coloring Page
The raccoon is the masked one with the ringed tail, the animal a child spots in the garden at dusk, and the page draws it sitting still for once: a round friendly raccoon with its mask drawn in outline, a big striped tail curled beside it, a small log on the ground, a tree behind, grass tufts and two clouds.
The body is one round shape for a toddler to fill, the mask is two outlined patches round the eyes, and the tail is divided into bands so the rings can be coloured one at a time. The log has rings on its end to trace and the tree is a simple round top on a trunk.
Ask why the raccoon wears a mask and where it goes at night. Then count the rings on its tail together, and the page becomes the night visitor a child is thrilled, not scared, to spot.
Skills Practiced
How to Use This Coloring Page
- Fill the raccoon first. The round body in one colour, then the mask round the eyes in a darker one.
- Then the tail, one ring at a time. Two colours taking turns down the tail. Count the rings as you go.
- Log, tree and clouds last. The log and its rings, the round tree, two clouds. Ask what the raccoon is sitting on.
