Cat Shadow's Lost Jingle Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Shadow the cat had a favorite toy: a little blue mouse with a jingly bell inside. Jingle-jingle-jingle it went when he batted it under the sofa. Jingle-jingle-jingle it went when he tossed it in the air.

But one day, the jingle was gone. Shadow looked under the rug. No jingle. He looked behind the curtain. No jingle. He sat down and let out a tiny, sad "Mew?"

His little girl, Lily, heard him. "What's wrong, Shadow?" she asked. She helped him look. They looked together, and there it was! Tucked inside Lily's slipper. Shadow pounced, and the happy jingle-jingle-jingle filled the room once more.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The expressive characters and clear narrative make this design perfect for 3-5 year olds. The outlines are simple and uncluttered, allowing children to easily identify the characters and the key object (the toy in the slipper). This visual storytelling aids comprehension and makes coloring more engaging.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Use a standard printer setting for this line art page. Before giving it to your child, talk about the story and ask them to point to the cat, the girl, and the hidden toy. This enhances the problem-solving aspect of the activity.

Recommended Tools

A mix of tools could be fun here! Washable markers for the larger areas like Lily's shirt, and colored pencils for smaller details like the cat's face and the tiny toy mouse. This encourages using different grips and pressures.
