Tongue-Out Kitten in a Knit Hat and Stocking

A cute kitten peeks out of a big Christmas stocking, wearing a little knit hat with a pom-pom, a zigzag band and two tiny hearts. Its paws rest on the fluffy cuffed top of the stocking, and its tongue sticks out in a playful way. A holly leaf with berries sits on the front of the cuff. The stocking has curved stripes, a round pom-pom at the toe, and hangs from a bow on a mantel-style shelf. Several stars of different sizes fill the background. Try coloring the stripes in two or three alternating shades and keeping the stars pale yellow so the kitten stands out. It is also a nice page for talking about patterns, since the stripes and hat zigzags repeat. This printable works well for a quiet holiday table activity with crayons or colored pencils.
