About this coloring page
A kitten pops up from inside a woven basket, with both front paws hooked over the rim. It has dot eyes, whiskers, and small dark marks where its ears meet its head. Below a wide rim, the basket's weave crosses up, down, and sideways in a grid of small boxes.
The basket is what makes this page a step up. Each little square of the weave is its own space, so it is good practice for staying inside small shapes. Some kids like to color every other square to make a checkerboard. The kitten's face is small, so a sharp crayon or colored pencil helps there.
Color ideas
- Color the basket in two browns, alternating squares, so it looks like real woven strips.
- Use the dark marks by the ears as the start of patches, and color the kitten like a calico with orange, black, and white.
- Give the wide rim along the top of the basket a bright color, like a painted picnic basket.
Did you know?
- A group of kittens born together is called a litter.
- Mother cats move their kittens by gently carrying them by the loose skin at the back of the neck, called the scruff.
Try this
Draw a soft blanket peeking out over the edge of the basket, or a second kitten looking out beside the first.
