A playful lion cub with a soft tuft of mane and a bright, curious face — a step up from the easiest pages, with a bit more detail to enjoy.
This lion cub sits somewhere in the middle of the difficulty range: the body and face are still bold and clear, but the little mane tuft, the paws, and the facial features add just enough detail to keep a five-to-nine-year-old engaged. It is a great page for a child who has outgrown the very simplest shapes but is not ready for intricate scenes. The mane is fun to experiment with — golden yellow, warm orange, or something wilder — and the open body gives room for confident colouring. Because the outlines stay thick and closed, colours do not leak into each other, so the finished cub looks neat and proud. It prints cleanly on ordinary paper and downloads free as a print-ready PDF and a PNG, with no sign-up required.
Coloring idea: Layer yellow and orange on the mane for a warm, sunlit look.
