About this coloring page
A tabby kitten with stripes on its head, back and legs leans over a ball of yarn, one paw resting on top as if it just caught it. Its ears are pointed, its eyes are shut in a happy grin, and its tail swishes up behind it. A loose strand of yarn loops and curls across the bottom of the page.
Coloring ideas
Orange, gray or brown tabby stripes look realistic; color the stripes a shade darker than the body. The yarn ball can be any bright color, and following the loose strand with one long line of color is a fun challenge. A cozy rug or a basket drawn underneath finishes the scene.
Skills practiced
Following the curly yarn strand with a crayon from one end to the other is great practice for steady, controlled curves, the same movement used in handwriting. Ask what sound a kitten makes and what other baby animals are called (puppy, calf, chick, cub) for a quick vocabulary game.
Printing tips
Colored pencils handle the thin yarn strand and stripes best. Print on plain paper for everyday coloring, or on card stock if you want to cut out the kitten and add it to a pet-themed bulletin board.
