Coloring ideas for the kitten with yarn

  • Color each band of the yarn ball differently for a rainbow ball.
  • A gray or white kitten makes the bright yarn stand out.
  • Follow the loose strand with the same color as the ball so it reads as one thread.

How to print this kitten with yarn coloring page

  1. Choose the PDF that matches your paper: Letter in the US and Canada, A4 in most other countries.
  2. Open the file and print at 100% or “Actual size”. The page is already sized to the sheet, so there is nothing to fit or scale.
  3. Regular printer paper works for crayons and pencils. Use heavier paper or cardstock for markers so the color doesn't bleed through.
  4. Printing for a group? Print one copy, check the margins on your printer, then print the rest of the stack.

Why kids like cat coloring pages

Cats are one of the easiest animals for a young child to recognise and to color: a round head, two pointed ears, whiskers and a long tail. The shapes are big and closed, so even a first box of crayons gives a result the child is proud of.

They are also forgiving. A cat can be orange, gray, black, white, striped or patched, so there is no wrong choice, and older kids can try a tabby or a calico pattern on the same outline.

Things to talk about while coloring

  • What color is a cat you know, and what is its name?
  • Why do cats have whiskers?
  • What sound does a happy cat make?

What to color it with

Crayons
Best for ages 3 to 5. The wide tip fills big areas fast and the thick outlines hide small slips.
Colored pencils
Good from age 6. They allow light and dark shades of the same color and stay inside narrow shapes.
Markers
Bright and even, but they soak through thin paper. Print on heavier paper and put a spare sheet underneath.

More ways to use it

  • Print two per sheet and fold them into party favors or a rainy-day activity pack.
  • Glue the finished drawing onto folded card for a birthday or thank-you card.
  • Laminate a copy and color it with dry-wipe markers, again and again.
  • Tape it to a window and trace the outline onto plain paper to practise drawing.
