Santa and the Sleepy Kitten Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

As Santa tiptoed into a quiet living room, he saw something that made his shoulders shake. He tried not to laugh out loud, but a little giggle escaped. Hee, hee, hee!

What did he see? The family's little kitten was fast asleep inside a dollhouse, curled up in the tiny bed with a blanket pulled up to its chin.

Santa thought it was the sweetest, funniest thing he had ever seen. He carefully placed a tiny toy mouse with a bell on it just outside the dollhouse door for the kitten to find in the morning. He was still giggling softly as he flew to the next house.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The scene is simple, sweet, and easy for a 3-5 year old to understand. The primary subject, a sleeping kitten, is universally appealing. The large shapes of the dollhouse, tree, and the kitten itself are perfect for unpracticed hands to color.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Shhh! Look at the sleepy little kitten! Isn't that funny? Santa thinks so too. You can make the kitten any color you wish. Will it be an orange kitty, a black kitty, or a calico kitty with lots of spots? You can also decorate the Christmas tree behind Santa. Let's color this picture to be very cozy and sweet.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

This page prints beautifully on standard paper. After coloring, you can ask your child to tell you a story about the sleepy kitten. This helps connect the art activity with language development and imagination.

Recommended Tools

Thick, washable markers are great for making the Christmas tree and dollhouse vibrant. For the kitten, crayons can give it a soft, 'furry' look. This is a low-pressure page with lots of room for creative expression.
