Sleepy Lion Coloring Page

Meet the star of this Lion coloring page: a cute lion curled up fast asleep, peaceful smile, one eye scrunched shut, paws tucked under its chin. Kids can talk about the scene before they start, guess what happens next, then bring it to life with color. This free printable is ready to download and print at home or in the classroom, and works well for rainy-day play and weekend crafts. As they color, Ages 3–8 children develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, pencil control, color recognition, animal vocabulary -- and along the way, they can learn three new words: savanna, predator, mane. A lion's roar can be heard from as far as five miles away.
