Kitten Reaching for an Ornament on the Tree, Christmas for Kids

Coloring guide
Next to a small Christmas tree sits a smiling kitten, stretching one paw up to touch a big round ornament hanging from a branch. It has large sparkly eyes, long whiskers, a striped forehead, and a curled, striped tail wrapped around its body. The tree is planted in a simple flowerpot and topped with a big star, and three more round ornaments hang on the wavy branches. Because the background is plain white, little hands have lots of room to color. Large shapes and clear outlines suit preschoolers and early elementary kids and work well with crayons or markers. Ginger orange with darker orange stripes would suit the kitten, and a shiny red for the big ornament will draw the eye. This free printable is a cozy, playful way to get into the holiday spirit at home or in the classroom. Add this to your Christmas for Kids coloring page collection, alongside Christmas Lights and Christmas Tree.
