Coloring tips

  1. Try using bright gold for the cat's bell and coin, with deep red for the lanterns and the cat's collar.
  2. The bold lines and simple shapes make this an excellent choice for toddlers and preschoolers aged 3-5.
  3. Color the large sections of the cat first, then use a thinner marker to carefully fill in the whiskers and eyes.
