Jasper's Cardboard Castle cat Coloring Pages for Kids

Coloring page story

One day, a big, brown box appeared in the hallway. Jasper, a sleek black cat with eyes like green marbles, was very curious.

He sniffed the box. Sniff, sniff. He bopped the box with his paw. Bop, bop. He peeked inside. It was dark and safe.

Pounce! Jasper leaped right inside. It wasn't just a box anymore. It was his castle! He was King Jasper, ruler of the hallway. He peeked out of his castle door, watching his kingdom. He even took a royal nap on the floor of his castle. It was the best fort in the whole wide world.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This line art is excellent for ages 3-5. The use of basic geometric shapes (squares for the box, triangles for the ears) is easy for young minds to recognize and color. The large, contained spaces of the box and the cat's head prevent frustration and support the development of hand-eye coordination.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Look! It's Jasper the cat playing in his box castle! Can you be the royal painter? You can color the big box any color you like. Maybe it's a brown box, or maybe it's a magical rainbow castle! Then, you can color Jasper's face. Don't forget the big empty circles for his eyes! Remember to have fun and make it your very own.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

To make a sturdy castle, print this page on heavy cardstock. After coloring, an adult could even help cut the box outline out for extra play! Ensure your printer is set to black and white mode to save ink and get the boldest outline of the cat.

Recommended Tools

Fat-tipped markers are great for filling in the large area of the box quickly. Colored pencils can be used for the cat's face to add smaller details. Both tools work well on the clean, white interior spaces of this line art design.
