Kitten Cross-Eyed at a Butterfly on Its Nose

Coloring guide
Sitting upright in tufts of tall grass, a fluffy kitten crosses its big round eyes to stare at the small butterfly perched on the tip of its nose. The butterfly has patterned wings and two curled antennae, and the kitten wears a happy little smile. Look for the fluffy ruff on its chest, whiskers on both cheeks, pointed ears with inner lines and a bushy tail curling up on the left. The front paws are tucked together at the bottom. Thick, clean outlines keep this free printable easy for little hands, and the fur tufts give older kids something to work on. Soft orange or gray stripes suit the kitten, a bright purple and pink butterfly will stand out in the center, and fresh greens fit the grass blades on either side.
