Jumping Cat Reaching for a Butterfly
Coloring guide
A fluffy kitten springs through the air, sparkly eyes wide and mouth open in a smile, both front paws stretched up toward a smiling butterfly fluttering overhead. The bushy tail curls out behind, and little tufts of fur show on the cheeks, chest and tail tip. Below, a simple garden has three daisy-style flowers on leafy stems and a few small tufts of grass. The butterfly's wings have heart-shaped patterns, which are fun to color in. Bold, clear outlines suit preschoolers and early elementary kids, and the free printable works well on a rainy afternoon or in the classroom. Soft orange stripes for the kitten and purple and pink wings for the butterfly will stand out against the sky. Browse more Cats coloring pages, or explore Farm Animals and Tiger for even more fun.
