Loaf Cat's Shadow Puppet Fun Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Loaf Cat was a sleepy loaf as the sun went down. The lamp made a long shadow of his loafy shape. In his dream, his shadow jumped off the wall! Boing! Twist: His shadow wanted to play! It made funny shapes—a bird, a bunny, a wiggly worm! Loaf Cat and his shadow danced together. He woke up and saw his real shadow, still and quiet on the wall, and gave it a happy blink.

Let's Play! Can you make a shadow puppet with your hands? What animal can you make?

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This coloring page is excellent for children aged 3-5. The concept of a shadow friend is magical and fun. The use of two cat outlines—one regular, one stretched—is a simple, clever visual that's easy to understand. The large, clear shapes of the cat and the animal puppets are perfect for little hands to practice coloring.
