Forest Friend's Sweet Ice Cream Surprise

Fun Fact

Squirrels are excellent foragers and have a fantastic memory for where they bury their nuts, even though they sometimes forget a few, which helps new trees grow! They also have very good senses of smell, perfect for finding a sweet treat like this!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 **Textured Tail** - Use short, varied strokes and different shades of brown, gray, and even a touch of orange to make the squirrel's bushy tail look incredibly soft and realistic.
2. 2🖍️ **Mossy Stump Details** - For the tree stump, layer shades of green, brown, and gray to create the bumpy, organic texture of moss and old wood. Don't forget tiny specks of white or light green for highlights.
3. 3✨ **Sweet Scoop Shading** - Give the ice cream depth by using lighter shades where the light hits it and slightly darker, creamy tones in the shadows. Think about what flavor it might be!
4. 4🌈 **Forest Floor Richness** - Use a wide palette of greens, yellows, reds, and browns for the intricate leaves and mushrooms. Consider adding tiny dots for spores on the mushrooms or veins on the leaves for extra detail.
