Happy Spotted Cub Curled Up Hugging a Striped Ball

A smiling spotted cub lies curled on its back with its eyes squeezed shut in a happy expression. It hugs a round ball with curved stripes across it, one front paw gripping the side while the back feet push against the ball. The big rounded ears have thick dark inner shapes, and the long tail sweeps up along the right side of the page. Spots in all sizes cover the head, belly, legs and tail, from tiny dots to large ovals and circles. The bold outlines and roomy spots make this a good fit for younger kids using chunky crayons. Try coloring the cub in golden yellow or snowy gray, then give each spot a different shade to practice staying inside the lines. The striped ball is a nice spot for bright rainbow colors. This printable page also works for talking about big cats and their patterns.
