Kitten coloring picture

About this kitten coloring page

This free kitten coloring page gives kids a young cat picture to print and color. A kitten's pointed ears, whiskers, paws, tail, and soft-looking fur provide lots of recognizable details while the clear black outlines make the picture approachable for children who simply want to enjoy coloring.

Coloring ideas

Kittens come in many colors, so children can try black, white, gray, cream, orange, brown, or combinations of several shades. They can add stripes, patches, spots, or darker markings to create a tabby, tuxedo, calico, or completely imaginary kitten.

A printable activity for cat lovers

This kitten picture works well for quiet time, pet-themed classroom activities, rainy afternoons, or a collection of printable animal coloring pages. Younger children can focus on the larger areas while older kids can add fur patterns, shading, and extra details around the cat.

Create a home for the kitten

Kids can draw a cozy setting around their kitten with a food bowl, toy mouse, ball of yarn, blanket, basket, scratching post, or window. They could also place the kitten outdoors in a garden with grass, flowers, butterflies, and a sunny sky.

Children can give their kitten a name and imagine its personality or what it might be doing next. Printing another copy makes it easy to create several different cats with new fur colors, markings, surroundings, and stories.
