Cheerful Leopard Cub Sitting with Head Turned Back

A cheerful leopard cub sits sideways with its big round head turned back toward us. It has large shiny eyes with little lashes, a small nose, whisker dots, and an open smiling mouth with the tongue showing. Two rounded ears sit on either side of the head, and a few tufts of fur stick up on top. Oval spots of different sizes cover the face, body, legs, and the curled tail. One front paw is lifted in a friendly wave while the back feet rest on the ground, and a fluffy patch of fur shows on the chest. The large open areas are easy for small hands to fill in. Try yellow or golden orange for the coat, then use brown or black for the spots so each oval stands out. This free printable also works for a quick lesson on how spots differ from stripes in big cats.
