Coloring Tips

To capture the iconic look of a tabby cat, you can use a mix of gray and black to create stripes on the fur. If kids are coloring the whimsical cloud scene, encourage them to use bright pinks and reds for the hearts to make the background pop. For the kittens, using a soft peach color for the inner ears and nose can add a lively touch that makes the characters look happy and alert.
