Smiling Cat With a Giant Yarn Ball
Coloring guide
This cheerful fluffy kitten sits upright with one paw on top of a large ball of yarn, grinning widely with big shiny eyes. It has pointed ears, long whiskers on both cheeks, tufts of fur around the face and chest, and a curled tail rising behind it. Loose yarn loops along the ground around the bottom of the page. With no background scene, the kitten and yarn stand out nicely. Thick outlines and open spaces make this free printable easy for preschoolers and early elementary kids. A soft orange or gray kitten looks great with a bright purple or turquoise striped yarn ball, and the stripes help you follow the loose strand.
