Young Simba Sitting and Gazing Upward

A young lion cub sits on the ground with its body turned slightly to the side and its head turned toward us. Its big round eyes look upward, and a small tuft of hair sticks up on top of its head. The rounded ears have thick black outlines on the outer edges, and long whiskers fan out from both cheeks. A little chin tuft sits under the mouth. The cub's tail curls up behind it and ends in a small tuft, and both front paws and the back foot show clear toe lines. The lines are bold and the shapes are large, so this one works well for younger kids using chunky crayons. Try golden tan for the fur, warm brown for the ear edges and tail tuft, and a pinkish shade for the nose. It is also a nice printable for talking about how lion cubs look compared with grown lions.
