Friendly Lion with a Fluffy Mane, Animals Coloring Sheet

Right in the middle of the page, a friendly cartoon lion sits upright and looks straight at you. It has big round eyes, a small heart-shaped nose, whiskers and a wide happy smile. The full, fluffy mane frames the face in pointed tufts and runs down into a shaggy chest, with two round ears peeking out at the sides. Both front paws rest side by side at the bottom, and a long tail curls up on the right and ends in a tuft. Small grass clumps and a couple of rounded rocks sit in the lower corners. Younger kids with chunky crayons can handle the large open shapes of the mane and body, and the fur tufts give older children something to detail. Golden yellow for the body, warm orange and brown for the mane, and fresh green for the grass is one idea. Free to print as a PDF.
