Kitten Playing with a Giant Yarn Ball

Coloring guide
Here's a fluffy kitten with big shiny eyes and an open, happy mouth, one paw resting on a large ball of yarn like it's about to send it rolling. The loose end trails along the bottom of the page in a long curly line. Behind the kitten, the tail curls up, and the whiskers, pointed ears and fur tufts on the cheeks and chest are all in bold, clear outlines. There's no background, which lets little ones focus on just the cat and the yarn. Wide stripes on the ball are easy to fill in, while the fur tufts give older kids something to take their time with. Soft orange or gray suits the kitten, and bright pink or purple makes the yarn stand out. Print it free for a quiet afternoon at home or a classroom activity. Looking for more? Our Pusheen and Hello Kitty coloring pages pair nicely with this Kitten page.

- 1Color the kitten's body, tail, neck fur and cheek in light orange, keeping the little cheek highlight white.
- 2Fill the inner ears, the nose and the tongue with coral pink.
- 3Color the big yarn ball and its loose yarn strand with sky blue, following the curved stripes around the ball.
- 4Leave the eye whites and the empty space inside the yarn loop white so the eyes and background stay bright.
