Marmalade the Cat Finds a simple Nap Spot Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Marmalade the cat wanted a nap. He tried the rug, but it was too scratchy. He tried the kitchen floor, but it was too cold. He tried the sofa, but a bouncy toddler was there.

Then, Marmalade saw it. A patch of sun on the windowsill. It was a warm, golden square, just his size.

He hopped up, curled into a tight, furry circle inside the sun patch, and closed his eyes. The sun warmed his fur. He started to purr, a low, rumbly sound. Purrrrrrrr. It was the quietest, warmest, most perfect spot in the world.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The single, large, rounded shape of the sleeping cat is very accessible for ages 3-5. It's a low-pressure subject that doesn't require precise coloring. The theme is peaceful and familiar, making it a soothing activity for young children to engage with.
