Cat in the Hat Portrait Under a Plain White Hat

A smiling cat with a long, tall hat sits at the top of this portrait. The hat is plain white with a curved brim, and one pointed ear pokes out from beneath it. The cat has big round eyes, raised eyebrows, a small nose, freckle-like dots on the muzzle, and long whiskers on both sides of its face. Its neck is narrow and covered in scratchy ink lines, and a large bow tie sits right below the chin. The big hat and bow tie are open white shapes that are easy for small hands to fill in. Try a bold red and white stripe pattern on the hat, then pick a bright color for the bow tie. Older kids can use the hatching lines on the neck to practice shading with a darker pencil. It is a good printable for a Dr. Seuss reading day.
