Loaf Cat's Yarn Planet Space Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Loaf Cat was a fuzzy loaf in a knitting basket, surrounded by soft balls of yarn. He dreamed he was an astronaut. Zoom! He floated through space. Twist: He didn't land on the moon. He landed on a bouncy, soft planet made entirely of red yarn! He bounced and rolled and played. He woke up tangled in a bit of soft yarn, warm in his basket.

Let's Play! Can you curl up in a ball like Loaf Cat in the yarn? Let's bounce up and down!

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is excellent for the 3-5 age group. The main character and the yarn balls are large and have simple, rounded outlines. The concept of a 'yarn planet' is silly and imaginative, appealing to a young child's sense of wonder. Coloring the swirly lines of the planet surface is a great activity for practicing controlled hand movements.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For this space adventure, print the coloring page on a good quality paper to make the colors of the planets and stars look vibrant. Use your printer's 'best quality' setting to ensure the black outlines of the loaf cat's helmet and the yarn texture are sharp and defined.

Recommended Tools

Brightly colored markers are perfect for making the yarn planet and floating yarn balls pop. Colored pencils can be used to lightly shade the background space. For a little extra sparkle, star-shaped stickers could be added to the background after coloring is complete (with a grown-up's help!).
