Baby Simba Lion Cub Resting on Stacked Paws

A young lion cub looks out from the page with its head tilted slightly and its big round eyes turned upward. Its front paws are stacked in front of it, and each paw shows rounded toes. The ears are large and round with thick black outer edges, and a small tuft of fur sticks up on top of the head. Long whiskers curve out from both cheeks, and the nose and mouth give the cub a gentle, curious look. Fluffy fur lines mark the chest and shoulder. The big open areas on the face and paws are easy for small hands to fill in. Try golden yellows and soft tans for the fur, then brown or orange for the tuft and ears. It also works well for a lesson on baby animals. This free printable gives kids a chance to talk about where lions live and what cubs do all day.
