Kitten Patting a Matryoshka Doll's Tassel
Coloring guide
A nesting doll sits on a round lace doily with a big smile, while a curious kitten stretches up to bat at the tassel on her scarf. Little flowers decorate the headscarf, and she has sparkly eyes, round cheeks and a knotted kerchief at her neck. The front of her apron is filled with a large flower and leafy branches, and a few stripes and curves run along her body. The kitten has pointed ears, whiskers, a striped forehead and a curled, striped tail. Big shapes and clean outlines keep this free page manageable for younger children. For color ideas, try red and yellow on the scarf, a bright blue apron flower and soft orange stripes on the kitten. Markers or crayons both work, and kids can invent their own pattern for the doily.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start by coloring the doll's headscarf, the bow petals, and the bottom base in bright red, leaving the flower petals on the scarf for later.
- 2Fill the doll's face with peach, then color the large apron area and the lower cream part of the body in cream.
- 3Color the green band along the bottom and right side of the doll in dark green, and the leaves around the flower in dark green and grass green.
- 4Color the kitten in tangerine orange, including its body, paws, and tail, then add the centers of the flowers in the same orange.
- 5Color the flower petals on the scarf, the bow center, the tassel, and the rug's scalloped edge in golden yellow, then add the hair in chestnut brown.
- 6Color the cheeks and the inner ears in soft pink, and keep the eye whites and background white. Optional: add a little darker shade on the edges of the scarf for depth.
