Acorns

Explore acorns on leafy branches, in woodland baskets and beside squirrels, a mouse or a rabbit. Choose a simple acorn-and-leaf picture, a counting sheet with eight acorns, or a more detailed scene or circular leaf pattern. The sprouting acorn, garland-making boy and acorn house offer different subjects to color. Download your chosen picture or save a PDF to print.

Personalize for an occasion

One acorn or many repeats

Start with distinct parts, or settle into a circular pattern.

A large acorn rests beside an oak leaf, with broad spaces to color.

Acorn with oak leaf

A smooth nut, scalloped cap and lobed leaf make three clear color areas.

Separate nut, cap and leaf

Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.

Digital coloring example

Tan acorn with brown cap beside a green oak leaf.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Tan nut
  • 2. Brown cap
  • 3. Green leaf
  1. Color the smooth lower nut tan.
  2. Color the patterned cap and short stem brown.
  3. Color the oak leaf and its stalk green.

The brown cap stays distinct from the tan nut; the leaf edge remains clear.

Make an acorn color strip

With paper and pencils, draw three simple acorns in a row. Repeat the brown caps, change each nut’s shade, then choose your favorite for another printed page.
