What's In This Picture

In the center of the image, you will find a fuzzy kitten perched carefully atop a sturdy wooden post that forms part of a garden fence. The kitten’s wide eyes are focused upward toward a small butterfly with patterned wings resting gently on its face. Below the fence, a variety of flowers and thick leaves grow in the garden, providing a lush setting for the encounter.

Looking up past the kitten, the sky is dotted with soft, rounded clouds that suggest a clear and pleasant day. Each element, from the texture of the wooden fence to the tiny details on the butterfly's wings, offers a different space to fill with color.

Coloring Tips

Since the kitten is the star of the show, you might choose soft greys, warm gingers, or even a classic calico pattern with patches of orange and black. For the butterfly, bright and vibrant colors like electric blue or sunny yellow will help it stand out against the kitten's fur. The wooden fence looks great with different shades of brown or tan, perhaps adding some darker lines to show the grain of the wood.

The flowers in the foreground are a great chance to use your favorite bright hues like pink, purple, or red. To make the clouds look extra fluffy, you can leave them mostly white and just add a tiny bit of light blue or lavender around the edges for a soft shadow effect.

Did You Know?

Did you know that kittens are born with blue eyes? Their true eye color usually starts to show when they are about six or seven weeks old. Also, butterflies don't actually have noses like we do; they use their feet to taste things and their antennae to smell the sweet scent of flowers!

Try This!

After you finish coloring, try drawing more garden friends like a ladybug or a bumblebee near the flowers. You can also write a short story about how the kitten and the butterfly first met and what they might say to each other if they could talk.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colors should I use for the kitten?
You can use any colors you like! Common kitten colors include orange, grey, black, or white. You could even give it stripes like a tabby cat or spots like a calico.
How do I make the butterfly stand out?
Try using the brightest colors in your box, like neon pink or bright yellow. Using a different color than the kitten's fur will make the butterfly pop!
Can I add more things to the background?
Yes! The sky and garden have plenty of room for you to draw a bright yellow sun, more birds, or even some extra garden insects like ladybugs.
For best results, print on standard letter size (8.5" x 11") paper using your printer's "Fit to Page" setting.
