Butterfly Chase With a Playful Tiger Cub

Coloring guide
A happy tiger cub bounds through the grass, one front paw raised toward a smiling butterfly fluttering above. The cub has big round eyes, a wide open grin, rounded ears, a fluffy tuft of fur on its head and whiskers on its cheeks. The curled tail is striped, and the raised paw shows toe pads that are fun to fill in. Along the bottom you'll see grass tufts and several flowers, some with round petals, a few smaller blooms, and one on the right with a simple stem. The butterfly has patterned wings, curly antennae and a cheerful face. Bold lines and large shapes make it good for preschoolers and early elementary kids using crayons or markers. Orange for the cub with dark brown stripes works well, and a bright purple butterfly gives nice contrast. Download this free printable PDF for your growing collection.
