Mouse Sheltering Under A Mushroom Coloring Page

A small mouse sits under a tall spotted mushroom on this page, sheltered by its wide cap. The underside of the cap shows straight gill lines running outward from the stalk, and six plain oval spots sit on the top. The mouse has two large round ears, one round eye, a long curling tail, and two front paws held together. Leaves and acorns lie on the ground in front, and grass grows around the base of the stalk. Mushrooms push up when the ground turns damp, which is why they belong to this part of the year. The gills under the cap are the detailed part of this drawing and they look best left pale, with the top of the cap carrying the stronger color. The spots give you an easy contrast. Keep them white against a red cap for the classic look, or color them and leave the cap plain for something unusual. The mouse itself is one simple open shape that a young child can finish in a minute. Print this one for a rainy afternoon.
