Coloring Tips

To make the lion look extra bright, you can try using a sunny yellow for the face and a deep orange for the mane. Teachers can encourage kids to use different shades of green for the plants in the background to create a sense of depth. If you are using colored pencils, try using a very light brown to add soft shadows around the cub’s paws and ears to make it look 3D on the page.
